In the realm of government software transitions, the challenge of migrating data is often an obstacle. Data imports can be a significant deterrent and hurdle for decision-makers. The tedious, time-consuming, and expensive nature of data import has prevented many departments from exploring new, more efficient software – but it shouldn’t.

That’s where Cloudpermit comes in – our user-friendly, cloud-based software makes the data import process easy.

The Pain Points of Traditional Data Import

Governments often face a daunting task when considering data migration with new software. The idea of migrating important information, like applications, permits, inspections, and attachments, raises concerns about potential errors and lost time. These challenges have often made decision-makers hesitant to embrace change and have stopped them from considering how they can improve their service delivery.
