Dynamic services for municipalities
Municipalities love our ChiliCMS to track projects such as planning and zoning projects. Since this system is tied to the municipality's public website, getting information about projects and meetings out to the public is highly simplified and organized. ChiliCMS is a suite of small web applications that all use the same login, so that it is easy for you to get into it and manage your website. Once your data is entered into these small applications, your staff can also be more productive because all of your digital communications are centralized within your website. For one low price, you get modules like these: Shared Calendar, Event Calendar, Job Posting Application, Messaging, Label Printing, Membership Directory, Employee Directory, Task Manager, Event/Project Manager, more. Since municipalities have many departments and these departments can be in different physical locations, having an Intranet can make sharing information between departments easier.
MidiaHouse designs custom bill payment systems, or if the client's requests for it, we can implement our iStore Ecommerce platform to offer a turn-key bill pay systems inexpensively.
iMail is our HTML newsletter application that allows municipalities to send broadcast emails to small or large groups. It can be used to send private emails to City Council members, as well as broadcast messages to larger groups of people. The application also includes a newsletter signup widget that can be placed in your home page.
