Custom software for local government · since 1995
Next Generation Solutions designs, builds, and maintains the systems counties, cities, and towns run on — online payments, permits, court records, elections, and the portals that tie them together.
01 · The problem
Residents expect to pay a fee, pull a permit, or check a case the way they do everything else — from a phone, in minutes. Most government software wasn't built for that. Ours is, and has been for three decades.
02 · What we build
Fifty-plus systems across three decades cluster into a handful of things local government needs done well — again and again, department after department.
Court fees, property taxes, traffic tickets, licenses — collected online and reconciled against the systems of record, integrated with municipal payment processors.
Paperless permit applications, inspection scheduling and tracking, red-tag fee payment, and contractor license renewal — a building department without the file room.
Public dockets with enhanced access for legal professionals, subscription case alerts, and e-citation platforms that file tickets from the roadside into case management.
Live election-results apps — native mobile and progressive web — with push notifications, plus polling-place lookup tools residents actually use.
County-wide information portals through four major generations, department microsites, employee intranets, and CMS platform migrations.
Facility reservation systems for public grounds and online registration platforms for parks and recreation programs, classes, and events.
Scheduled and ad-hoc reporting, multi-tenant budget data collection across every department, payroll and timekeeping, and bank reconciliation feeds.
Common-services REST platforms — payments, property records, identity verification — that bridge modern services to the legacy systems government already owns.
03 · How we work
We're a small firm by design. The architect who scopes your system is the one who builds it — and the one who answers the phone ten years later.
Requirements gathered with the clerks, inspectors, and administrators who will live in the software daily — not from a template. We design around the office's real workflow and its real budget.
› "Walk us through what happens when the form lands on your desk."Modern, boring-on-purpose engineering: .NET Core, REST, Docker on Linux, SQL Server — and fluency in whatever your existing systems already speak, from case management to payment processors.
› "It has to talk to the system you bought in 2009. It will."Government systems live for decades, so we do too. We host, monitor, migrate, and modernize what we build — some of our systems have been in continuous service for over twenty years.
› "Deliver-and-disappear isn't a maintenance plan."Now · AI in the workflow
Our recent work puts AI to work on the tasks that consume the most staff time: reading paperwork and spotting what's wrong. Applied carefully — AI drafts the judgment, staff make the call, and every decision keeps a full audit trail.
Compliance documents uploaded by contractors are read by AI against business rules — most verify instantly, only the exceptions reach a person's desk, and nothing is ever hard-rejected by a machine.
Automated scans flag likely exemption fraud across property records, with AI-generated analysis reports that point investigators straight to the evidence worth their time.
PDF ADA-compliance remediation tools — scanning the document archives every government keeps, flagging accessibility failures, and repairing them at scale so public records are readable by everyone.
› AI assists. Staff decide. Records show both.
04 · Track record
A selection from thirty years of delivered work. Client names withheld — the systems speak for themselves.
Software consulting for Fortune 500 companies and local government begins — and never stops.
A county-wide government information portal launches, putting departments, services, and a polling-place lookup tool on the public web for the first time.
An online docket opens court records to the public, with enhanced paid access for attorneys and media — followed by a subscription case-alerts service.
Online ticket payment integrated directly with the county's court case-management system — no clerk's window required.
A regional e-citation platform lets state and local police file tickets electronically into court case management. A parks-program online registration service launches the same year.
A regional online bill presentment and payment service goes live for municipal departments across multiple towns and cities.
Homeowners request exemption filings through a self-service web application — one of the earliest of its kind in the region.
Criminal case fee payment and an infraction-deferral program join the family of court services, alongside electronic filing of ordinance citations.
A multi-tenant web application collects budget data from every county department; a 911 complaint-intake system launches the same year.
A native iOS and Android app delivers live election results with push notifications. A sheriff-sale management system goes live the same year.
A full online permit application system — intake, payment, document scanning, co-browse support — plus a reservation system for county fairground facilities. The county portal enters its fourth generation.
Birth and death certificate requests and electronic receipts move online — built on .NET Core, Docker, and Linux as the platform modernizes underneath.
Child-support payment history, property-exemption filing, and auditor forms migrate to a modern containerized stack — with identity verification built in.
A shared REST API layer — payments, property records, identity verification, election results — becomes the foundation new services build on. The elections app is reborn as a React progressive web app.
A certificate-of-occupancy workflow joins the online permit system, and health-department cash receipts gain automated daily card-transaction imports over secure file transfer.
Elections administration expands with candidate, office, and assignment tracking, then poll-worker management — course tracking tied to assignments, current-election controls, and bulk status updates.
Contractors upload insurance, bond, and workers-comp documents to a self-service portal at any hour; AI reads each one against compliance rules, clearing most instantly and routing only the exceptions to staff — no hard rejections, full audit trail.
A digital ticketing system for the data-processing department — status workflows and API integrations that replace email chains and hallway requests with a tracked queue.
Automated scans flag homestead-exemption fraud, with review queues, case detail views, and AI-generated analysis reports that point investigators straight to what matters.
A major platform upgrade for health-department services, paired with a premium support retainer — because staying current, not just going live, is the maintenance plan.
The payment layer behind multiple public-facing applications migrates to a modern payment-processing API suite — enterprise services, reservations, and permits moved onto one current rail.
Fresh department services shipping in 2026, systems from 2003 still in production — and the same architect on both ends of that span.
05 · Why it lasts
Solutions designed with scalability in mind, so a system serving one department today can serve twelve tomorrow — meeting long-term goals, not just the RFP.
We leverage proven open-source products where they fit, so taxpayer dollars go into your system — not licensing overhead.
Our principal architect has been an Apache Software Foundation committer since 2002, contributing to the open-source portal technology our earliest platforms ran on.
Court case management, payment processors, identity verification, document scanning, push notifications — we've bridged them all, and we keep the bridges standing.
Process consulting, requirements, design, development, hosting, and implementation support — one accountable partner from first meeting to year twenty.
.NET Core services in Docker on Linux, REST APIs, and progressive web apps — modernized deliberately, without breaking what already works.
