Enterprise permitting and licensing platform (AMANDA) used by large jurisdictions and national governments, now under Granicus.
Procurery Insight
AMANDA is built for scale — it powers some of the largest jurisdictions and even national-government permitting programs, with the deep configurability and process rigor that complex, high-volume operations require. That enterprise orientation means it is generally overkill (and over-budget) for small agencies, and like its peers it depends on capable implementation resourcing. Shortlist it when scale, complexity, and integration depth are the dominant requirements.

Illustrative figures, not verified buyer interviews — we're replacing them with data sourced from public award records. This is the hardest-to-copy layer: provenance-tracked and concentrated on the vendors buyers actually shortlist.
