Mecklenburg County in North Carolina (population: 1,068,000) serves as a model of how governments can use POSSE to continually enhance their business processes, using it as a long-term enterprise software solution.
“POSSE is a backbone of our department, and a real workhorse. I never had to worry whether the system would be able to do its job. Likewise, Computronix was always willing to work stride-for-stride with us on new projects and ideas.”
Jim Bartl
Director Emeritus
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement is the largest code enforcement authority between New York City and Houston, with a jurisdiction that includes the city of Charlotte and six surrounding towns. The department employs 245 full-time staff, including 126 inspectors that cover a 545 square mile territory. The county considers itself to be a “continuous improvement operation” – they constantly work to plan and prepare for the future, as well as position themselves at the cutting edge of government technology solutions. One example of this is their award-winning Meck-SI paperless special inspections process and website, which was the first of its kind in the country.
“The county was impressed with POSSE’s ability to adapt to our very specific and complex business requirements, as well as how well the software could manage the volume of permits and inspections we deal with.”

Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement
Computronix and Mecklenburg started their partnership in 2002, when the county first chose to implement POSSE. The county’s new permitting and inspections system was brought online in 2003. Bartl has determined that by using various innovative technology solutions and strategies, Mecklenburg County has been able to save 81.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, a total of $8-9 million in cost savings per year. Many of those solutions have used or been supported by POSSE. The FTE-saving programs, which were designed jointly by customers and Code Enforcement, include:
“I feel valued as a customer, and the needs of our division are addressed honestly and effectively.”
