Technology

PermitCity is a web-based permitting application which is delivered as either a network-aware appliance device or as a hosted ASP (application service provider) solution.

PermitCity is built as an object hierarchy and interface in the industry standard language PHP.  All SQL calls are pure SQL92 compliant, ensuring immediate portability to any RDBMS software.

Server:

PermitCity software is written in the operating system agnostic language/web server combination of PHP/Apache.  As a result, we can host on Windows, Mac OSX, Solaris or Linux.

Database:

Our software is database agnostic (purely SQL92 compliant) such as Microsoft, SQL Server, Oracle, or Sybase.

Security
Access to PermitCity is defined by roles. These roles are coupled with workflow processes as well as various ‘permissions’, all of which are configurable through built-in administrative tools.  A user must be assigned the appropriate role in order to carry out tasks within PermitCity.

Additionally, PermitSoft keeps an audit trail of access to the records using a combination of user identification on the record level, as well as web server logs which can determine who was accessing which pages.
