eCivis and HdL Companies Partner to Support City and County Governments

Leading public sector solution providers collaborate to enhance cost recovery services

eCivis, the most widely used SaaS-based grants management solution for state, local and tribal governments, announced today that it has entered into a strategic relationship with HdL Companies (HdL), a leader of auditing, operations, and revenue solutions for public agencies. eCivis is a subsidiary of GTY Technology Holdings Inc.

We look forward to the expected expansion of our services through HdL and hope to see our complementary services enable success for more state and local governments in the future.”
