Groupe Techna has provided excellent customer service to the DC Department of Public Works (DPW) for the past four years. Groupe Techna’s Parking Enforcement product has been very stable and has fully met expectations from DC/DPW Parking Services Administration. From a Support standpoint Groupe Techna’s Analysts are always available to immediately address any ongoing operations issues that surface. It is a rare situation indeed when we do not immediately get to speak to a Groupe Techna Support Analyst whenever we call the GTechna Support Line. Most issues are solved quickly and to our complete satisfaction. Whenever product enhancements or System upgrades are delivered GTechna takes the necessary steps to ensure that the changes are first thoroughly tested and deployed in a staggered & controlled manner in order to minimize the risk to our large Ongoing Operations of 300 Handheld Computers employing MES Ticketing Software.

Recently, we especially appreciated Gtechna’s initiative to visit DPW and conduct an information session, with our Senior Management in attendance, to advise DPW of the latest technological innovations available in the Parking Enforcement arena. In summary, we highly value our relationship with Groupe Techna and look forward to working closely with GTechna on future initiatives in order to both improve & maintain our Parking Enforcement Operation at peak levels of efficiency & feature rich content.

INTRODUCING MES-TOPS, ON-LINE PAYMENT SYSTEM, FROM GROUP TECHNA INC.
Jurisdictions throughout North America are using technology to enhance the service levels they provide to their citizens. Many of these high tech initiatives involve leading edge advances like Streaming Video of public meetings or Local Area Networking all around town for the routine use of business, government, and the people. Some of the most cost effective technology upgrades, though, are those that are most proven and even well worn in the private sector before being re-tooled for municipal use.

Group Techna's Ticket Online Payment System, or TOPS, is just such an adaptation of proven payment processing technology. Taking payment for services over the Internet using Credit Cards is nothing new. Adapting it for municipal use by developing the custom web software interface a city or town needs to complete a payment of a fine is.
Group Techna is a leading technology company specifically addressing the needs of Municipal Operations today. From a strong foundation in Law Enforcement, this company has grown to supply an increasing share of the general software and systems' needs of cities and towns. The key to those successes has been the intimate knowledge the company possesses of the particular needs of municipal managers.

The TOPS module from Group Techna's suite of Mobile Enforcement Solutions runs on a municipal server and is accessible from the city's web site. The GUI front end on the web site walks a user through the process of paying certain traffic and parking fines on-line. It's done by filling out a form with the appropriate information and supplying a valid Credit Card number on a secure page. The unique feature of TOPS is its ability to take the basic information on city wide parking violations directly from the MES-Parking system, also developed by Group Techna. The MES-Parking and MES-Cruiser systems are frequently used by parking enforcement officers and police to issue violations more quickly and efficiently. MES-TOPS is also capable of loading its payment database directly to the MES-Payment software module that matches violations to payments to update a city's books.
GROUP TECHNA MAKES TECHNOLOGY WORK FOR CITIES AND TOWNS
Group Techna has developed a suite of Mobile Enforcement Solutions, or MES Products. The core of each of these is custom software that is designed and developed by engineers who really understand Law Enforcement. From the flow of the User Interface to the order in which Data Input is prompted, MES Software Modules support routine patrol activities, rather than burden them. Added to this command of the software, Group Techna Engineers maintain close working relationships with manufacturers of the best Off-The-Shelf hardware that will be needed to complete a working system.

When you combine easy to use application specific software and proven, reliable hardware components, the result is a package that can go right to work for your Force and start generating benefits from Day One.
Your city or town is always looking for new ways of offering increased service levels to its citizens while decreasing costs at the same time. MES-TOPS offers citizens a payment process they are already familiar with from the private sector. It also speeds up the remittance process by making payments so much easier to do, thereby reducing the number of violations that proceed to the summons stage, hence the added benefit of reducing court cases and freeing up the Judges' schedules. It also greatly reduces the number of checks that require costly manual handling and will free up some of the counter clerks' time because fewer citizens will pay their tickets in person. MES-TOPS is your answer.

Group Techna personnel are experts in well known and proven technologies such as Portable Computers and Printers, Barcode Scanning, Wireless Data Communication, Image Capture and Data Base Management Systems. The Company applies these technologies to the betterment of day to day Law Enforcement procedures by creating a series of MES software applications to assist the Patrol Officers in their daily routine by using computer-fast and computer-efficient tools.
MES-TOPS provides City Managers with the opportunity to make a dramatic and highly visible improvement in the level of service they provide their Citizen/Customers. It offers taxpayers a cost effective alternative solution for paying tickets by negating the need to have to mail in their payments o personally present oneself at the City's kiosk. Best of all, custom development and installation are provided seamlessly by an experienced organization that is well versed in the workings of municipalities.
