WHY CHOOSE CAVE CONSULTING?

Knowledge and Experience:

With a rapidly growing list of satisfied customers, Cave Consulting is revolutionizing municipal websites and document management.
With over 17 years experience assisting city governments with grant administration and planning activities, Cave Consulting has a firm understanding of how a municipal government functions and how their website can best work for them and the community.
More than 100 years of combined staff experience dealing with business process automation technologies, web application development and computer infrastructure setup and maintenance has allowed us to assemble powerful applications that would fit into the even the smallest budget. More...

Cave Consulting has been dealing with local governments for years and understands that vendors can often treat them as a number.
We resemble anything but a large corporation and plan to keep it that way. There are no regional sales representatives or client liaisons. Instead, our clients deal directly with the owners or partners of the company.

Being a small company with only a few core "in-house" products and services, Cave Consulting is not limited to offering our clients a single "in-the-box" solution.
We have the flexibility of leveraging existing services and programs provided by other vendors or utilizing the latest technologies to develop our own.

Extensive research on municipal governments and websites has allowed Cave Consulting to:

Identify what types of content needs to be on all municipal websites;
Develop navigation schemes to allow users to find information with minimal effort; and
Design a content management system (EZ-Edit) which enables cities to modify the content on the website using only a browser and a connection to the internet.

A small investment in our EZ-Edit and YourDoc services will dramatically improve a city staff's efficiency, freeing them up to do more productive activities.
EZ-Edit encourages city constituents to visit the website before contacting city hall to obtain information or documents such as permits, maps and agendas.
YourDoc enables staff and/or the public to quickly retrieve documents which, otherwise, might take hours or days to locate.

EZ-Edit and YourDoc make it easier for municipal governments to stay in compliance with Federal and State Meetings Acts and Government Codes regarding municipal internet posting requirements, document retention schedules and government operations.
The simplicity of the built-in EZ-Edit editor increases the chances of legal postings being posted.
YourDoc offers a one-of-a kind "off-site" document repository for city documents which must be maintained forever, including "Essential Records" which must be kept off-site and reproduced by municipalities within 72 hours of the resumption or continuation of government operations in an emergency or disaster.

We strive to bring high-powered products and services to our clients for the lowest possible prices. To do this, we:

Lower our development and overhead costs by utilizing open source software when possible.
Only design the most important features and into our products.
Maximize Open Source and Non-Proprietary software and services to maximize.
