Custom Software for City Governments
Custom software and database support for city governments, so your department's systems are documented, supported, and never depend on a single person.
Custom software and database support for city governments, so your department's systems are documented, supported, and never depend on a single person.
City departments often run on systems that were built in-house, one project at a time. When the one employee who understood a database moves on, the department is left with software nobody can support, and every change becomes a risk.
J Street Technology has built custom software since 1994 for more than 600 clients, including city governments and state agencies. We take over systems like these, improve them, and train your staff, so the city isn't relying on a single person to keep things running.
These are the situations city clients bring to us:
The buck doesn't stop with business — some of our best projects have been with municipal governments. The City of Issaquah Department of Public Works Operations came to J Street for help managing a custom SQL Server database whose front-end application had been built by an internal employee who could no longer support it.
We gathered requirements, implemented enhancements, and trained key employees on them, so the City no longer had to rely on a single person to keep the system running.

“We have received amazing service from Scott on the J Street team. When needed, he worked late into the night to meet our deployment schedule for some complex reporting changes. Scott went above and beyond, and he did it with a really great attitude.”
Jennifer Speer, Sr. Finance Business Systems Analyst, City of Aurora, CO

It depends on scope. As a rough guide, support for an existing system typically runs under $10,000 for minor work and $10,000 to $30,000 for major work. Small new applications typically fall between $20,000 and $50,000, medium applications between $50,000 and $100,000, and larger systems above that. We'll give you a realistic estimate after a free consultation.
