OurTown 2.0™,
introduced at the Illinois Municipal League Conference in 1995,
was deployed at Barrington, IL in 1996. At first, governments and
citizens slowly warmed to the concept of Internet enabled
government. Today there is an explosion in the desire for 24/7
government.
The public works department in Desplaines,
Illinois launched its own web site in March of 1997 with
service to the citizen firmly in mind. The director receives daily
OT2 reports on the status of every job pending or complete.
 Every
service provided by the public works department in Villa
Park, Illinois is available to its 35,000 citizens 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. OT2 is always on.
Chatham,
Illinois, whose population swells when the state
legislature is in session at the nearby capitol in Springfield, was
an early adopter of OT2. Now city hall, the police station and city
council chambers are connected and able to quickly exchange
information.

In
addition to the clients shown here, we have a growing number of
clients in the states of Missouri, Ohio, Texas and in the
Chicago,
Illinois metropolitan area.
 Lewisville,
Texas is a growing, progressive Dallas suburb of 75,000.
Their remote offices and buildings, such as the water treatment
plant, city hall and public works are connected using OT2 running on
Citrix with low cost diskless terminals.
Albany,
Missouri used a CIN (Community Information Network) grant
to purchase OT2 and had their web site service pages up in 3 days.
"Information is always at my fingertips and thanks to OT2 we
are now much more responsive to our citizens," says city
manager Tom Lesnak.
