Accela Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions

As a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Accela launched Response Solutions designed to help government agencies address rising challenges and navigate new modes of business operation during “shelter-in-place” and “social distancing” mandates.. The Response Solutions are designed to match the pressures of the pandemic and can be deployed within approximately 1-14 days, depending on the solution implemented.

Growing number of cities and counties were leveraging Accela's highly configurable SaaS solutions to rapidly adapt to the evolving needs of the global novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Baltimore County, Maryland; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Rochester, Minnesota are among the jurisdictions leveraging Accela’s flexible platform to keep critical government services running remotely, both for citizens and employees, safely allow nonessential businesses to resume operations, and protect their communities during the next phase of the pandemic response.

Accela Risks and Challenges

Accela's near-term agenda is to articulate a coherent product strategy following a series of acquisitions that have tripled its installed base. Another challenge is to migrate its existing on-premise customers to the Cloud in order to prevent any revenue leakage.

Competitors are expected to drive a wedge between these on-premise customers and Accela by pitching them affordable and perhaps more flexible Cloud alternatives. Accela will need to start emphasizing more of its key differentiators in land management, licensing, case management, not to mention the stability and scalability of Accela Automation.
