"The City of Vernon Health and Environmental Control Department has been a customer and user of Decade Software Company’s Envision Program for the last nine years. Before the transition to Envision, our department was utilizing three separate software systems for financial, inspection, and hazardous material inventory functions.

Envision has enabled our department to be more efficient by consolidating data management operations into one software system, even though we are a very small department with no internal information technology support.

The key features that have made Decade Software Company and Envision/EnvisionConnect software meet our environmental health data management needs include:

• Wide range of built-in environmental program details (reduces need for customization work and costs)
• Staff that are knowledgeable, accessible, friendly, responsive, and accountable.
• Invaluable networking opportunities via user group meetings, managers’ meetings, on-line training sessions, and annual conference.
• Periodic upgrades of software to reflect new programs and/or needs.
• Commitment to working with State agencies to assure consistent and efficient data collection.
• Understanding that each agency is unique (size, functions, programs) and the software needs to have flexibility to accommodate the uniqueness.
• Soundness of the financial system.
• Visionary planning to incorporate technological advances.

It is hard to put into words the positive experience we have had and continue to have. I really appreciate the efforts Kevin and Darryl make to understand and work on our (CCDEH) diverse and technical 'demands'. I think it is a great partnership."

Lewis J. Pozzebon, Director/Health Officer
