Calgary is the fastest-growing city in North America, currently home to nearly one million residents. The BEA-powered Calgary.gov portal makes it easy for Calgary residents to interact with city employees and policy makers, giving them tools to provide feedback on city projects, to request building permits, dog licenses, review their property taxes and more.
The City of Calgary is using the portal as a platform for developing Web applications to improve services and to decrease the total cost of providing online transactions for citizens. The City sees the portal as a platform for future development and plans to integrate even more applications and services into the portal over time.
The City of Calgary also needed a scalable, battle-tested solution that could be deployed quickly to serve its large constituency including users with disabilities. BEA was chosen based on its market-leading technology and its advanced accessibility features, as BEA's portal is one of the only portal solutions designed to meet both of the international standards for Web accessibility.
