Louis 'Rico' Fischer, CFM

"When I first came to Bay Head the records were all over the place, there wasn't a central location. As soon as I saw Forerunner, it immediately got to my attention that this was a solution for us to draw all this information together."
Chris Parlow
,
Borough Administrator, Bay Head, NJ
"Before Forerunner our flood information was dispersed all over the office. What used to take a few minutes now takes just a couple seconds. And to do this work digitally, rather than having to go through a file of the 4,000+ properties is a huge time-saving. Forerunner has brought our office into the 21st Century."
