    Des Lauriers Municipal Solutions, located in Franklin, MA, is looking for one or two interns for summer 2012. They have a product called GeoTMS. GeoTMS is land management software for municipalities. They track information like parcels, permits, inspections, violations, parking/beach stickers, vehicles, etc. One of their customers is Dartmouth, MA. Part of GeoTMS is a product called GeoTMSWeb. This is the primary product the interns would be working on. An example of GeoTMSWeb can be seen by visiting http://dartmouthma.geotmsweb.com. One of the main features of GeoTMSWeb that it allows homeowners and contractors to apply for construction related permits online 24/7 from the convenience of their own home. What we do differently in this process than any other company is that we make webpage versions of the municipalities real paper forms. This allows GeoTMSWeb users to apply for a permit using a digital version of the exact same paper application they are use to filling out and bringing into town hall. These digital versions of paper applications would be where the interns would come in. Interns would take these paper applications from municipalities and turn them into digital applications for GeoTMSWeb.
     Students (interns) would have the opportunity to develop highly advanced html, css, and asp.net skills. They also use technologies such as Telerik Asp.Net Controls, SQL Server, MS Access, MS Office, Photoshop, etc. The company is willing to work with interns to teach them the necessary html and css skills required for the position.
