242.0. "Vax sites at Municiple Governments?" by TROA01::COCHRANE () Fri Nov 17 1989 19:56

    =====>	Vax sites with Municiple GOVERNMENTS
                
    
    Do any of you have Municiple governments as customers? Where do they
    get the software to administer a city? Do they build or buy?
    
    I am looking for a medium size municipality (50 - 180K pop) using
    VAXES for things like taxes, utility billing, payroll etc.
    
    We are trying to convert a IBM S/36 account to VAXLAND. We need
    amo! They are currently planning an AS400 conversion. There is
    lots of competative information, we are looking for some good 
    application stories.             
    
    Where else could we look for this type of INFORMATION!

    Isn't the City of Scarborough, or Ajax, or one of the eastern "fringe"
    places a customer of ours. I seem to recall Barb Vinette spent a
    lot of time there ...

    The VMS & ULTRIX Software Source books should list the applications
    available for this purpose. They are in the Sales Resource Centre.
    
    As for Success Stories - there is a VTX area that covers such topics.
    I'll check & get back to you.

    OK, at the DCL prompt, type VTX
    
    on the 1st screen, select "7"  (Corporate InfoBase)
    on the next screen, select "12" (Sales & Marketing)
    on the next screen, select "9" (Customer References)
    
    and then search on the criteria "LOCAL GOVERNMENTS". You'll
    get 21 matches. You can have VTX mail the reference text to you.
    
    I'll forward a sample of 4 to you, whne I receive them

242.4SSB says they have it now!TRCO01::TROTTIMichael J.Tue Dec 05 1989 16:348
   The Town of Whitby and City of Oshawa are both using software developed
    by a company called SSB based in Whitby -- they are a CMP.
    
    Reg Schade (SUM for the Government Unit-TRC) is the man in the know
    when it comes to SSB.
