In a significant move for local government technology, gWorks has announced its acquisition of BBI, Inc., a company renowned for its software solutions tailored for municipalities and water agencies in Mississippi and Louisiana.

With a history spanning over four decades, BBI has served more than 300 municipalities and public utilities, delivering a suite of software encompassing accounting, billing, property tax management, court fines processing, and permitting solutions. This rich legacy positions BBI as a formidable partner in gWorks' strategy to empower local governments through advanced technological tools.

Moneesh Arora, CEO of gWorks, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "Our priority has always been supporting our customers with the necessary tools and assistance they need to succeed. By integrating BBI into the gWorks community, we reinforce our commitment to exceptional service and user experience."

With the acquisition, gWorks is set to deepen its service offerings, particularly for small to mid-sized governments that rely on user-friendly, specialized software solutions. This aligns with gWorks' larger goal of ensuring that local governments have access to effective tools that enhance their operational capabilities.

As cloud-based solutions continue to reshape how governments operate, gWorks is well-positioned at the forefront of this transformation. By acquiring BBI, gWorks not only broadens its market reach but also strengthens its portfolio of products that address the unique needs of local authorities.

As part of the transition, both gWorks and BBI are committed to maintaining continuity of service for BBI's existing customers and staff. The expectation is that this acquisition will allow for a seamless integration process, ensuring that users of both platforms continue to receive top-notch service and support without interruption.

In an era where municipal operations are increasingly complex and demand for efficient services continue to rise, partnerships such as this represent vital opportunities for innovation and improved public service delivery.
