"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." --Oscar Wilde
Many of our included components have been made into standalone programs and sometimes the only application a company provides. Of course, those various companies would never admit they emulated what we did, but we can safely say we've been around much longer (1995). That's all we're saying.
Before you pop thousands of dollars, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars, for a program that is already included with StarGOV and/or available for much less with the same or better efficiency, review what we offer in the growing and improving list below:

Request Service Tracking System
Citizens can request service which is automatically forwarded to appropriate department. A unique request number is generated in which they can follow the status of their issue online. E-mail and phone calls are used by city personnel for follow up. This is a wonderful management tool as well.
