Frequently asked questions
What does iWorQ cost, and is there per-seat licensing?
iWorQ does not publish list prices. Its site describes a straightforward pricing structure with no per-seat licensing fee, and states that support, training, and upgrades are free and unlimited. Budget-conscious agencies should request a demo and quote for a specific module mix, since cost will vary by department and application.
How long does it take to get live?
The vendor says the software is simple enough that 'we can have you up and running in just a few weeks,' and that new or existing staff can take unlimited training at no extra cost. Plan on a few weeks of configuration and training rather than a multi-quarter program, assuming your data and processes are ready to migrate.
Which departments does it cover?
More than 20 applications span public works (work management, asset, fleet and fuel, pavement, stormwater, facilities, FEMA reporting) and community development (permits, code enforcement, planning & zoning, business and rental licensing, fire inspections), plus a citizen portal, GIS REST services, and budgeting.
How secure and compliant is the platform?
iWorQ states it is 100% U.S. owned and operated and that all applications are hosted on AWS GovCloud, with regulated workloads hosted, sensitive unclassified information protected, and operations staffed by U.S. citizens. The vendor pages reviewed do not state SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or FedRAMP certification, so ask for current attestations during due diligence.
Does iWorQ offer AI features or an MCP server?
The site navigation references an 'XworQ AI' product line and a blog headline mentions local government smart assistants, but no available page describes concrete AI capabilities, model providers, or data-training terms. No MCP server is documented. Treat AI as unverified until the vendor provides detail.
What support is included?
The vendor advertises unlimited in-house training and support at no extra cost, handled by its U.S. headquarters rather than third-party call centers. Support is reachable by phone (435-755-5126) and email ([email protected]) and through a technical support web form, Monday–Friday, 6:00 AM–5:00 PM Mountain Time.
