Paper-free ProjectDox® ePlan Solution Reduces Customer Costs and Promotes
Environmental Conservation for Florida`s "Chain of Lakes" City 
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
Avolve Software Corporation, developers of ProjectDox® ePlan and collaboration
software and a leading provider of ePlan solutions for cities, counties and
states nationwide, announced today that the City of Winter Haven, FL will deploy
ProjectDox® as part of an e-government plan that will significantly reduce the
amount of paper, travel and other time and cost inefficiencies associated with
obtaining a construction permit. 

Avolve`s ProjectDox® ePlan solution enables jurisdictions to offer web-based
electronic file submission and review to citizens, architects, and developers
who work with Building Permits, Land Development, Planning and Public Works
departments in the review process of building and engineering plans. Key
benefits of ProjectDox® ePlan include the reduction of paper, printing and
storage costs, deforestation, drive time, gasoline consumption, and greenhouse
gas emissions-while streamlining the review processes and improving
communication and review accuracy within multiple city and county departments. 

"Streamlining what have been, until now, paper-based processes and procedures
will enhance Winter Haven`s business operations and positively impact the
environment at the same time," said Ron Loback, President and CEO, Avolve
Software. "We are eager to help contribute to the City`s long term vision for
sustainable services available to the public at anytime and from anywhere." 

Recognized as the water skiing capital of the world, Winter Haven-also referred
to as the "Chain of Lakes"-boasts 16 lakes connected by navigable canals. At 146
feet above sea level, Winter Haven`s city limits touch or surround more than 30
lakes. Winter Haven is accessible to the approximately 8.5 million people who
live within a one hundred mile radius of Polk County, made up of 2,002 square
miles including 554 freshwater lakes, making the area one of the largest and
fastest growing regions in the nation. Evidence of Winter Haven`s attraction is
in the nearly 20% increase in population over the last nine years. In 2008
alone, new residents contributed to the construction of 231 new homes in the
City that is now 39.56 square miles, an increase of 2.5 square miles over 2007,
according to the City`s annual report.
