FARRAGUT Enhances its Enterprise Addressing System with Powerful New Features

Farragut — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 10:58:10 GMT

Addressing data in local government just got easier to create, validate and maintain thanks to enhancements to FARRAGUT AddressOne, an enterprise addressing system. FARRAGUT, a public sector software company, announced today that AddressOne 3.0 is now generally available. Despite the focus on the address as a unifying point for almost everything a city or county does, many departments in a local government maintain their own separate addressing databases (using their own separate conventions). The result, across the enterprise, is often a fractured jumble of addressing databases—each riddled with errors and inconsistencies—that can cause failures to put accurate and timely addressing information into the right hands (emergency services, as just one example). “Version 3.0 represents a significant step forward for managing addressing on an enterprise level,” said Bill Campbell, Vice President of Local Government Solutions, FARRAGUT. “Not only does AddressOne 3.0 support the latest technology from ESRI, it also provides enhanced tools for managing, sharing, and distributing addressing information throughout a local government.”

The Showdown: Parcels vs. Addresses

Farragut — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 01:07:44 GMT

When we started Farragut back in ’94, I used to say that parcels were the key to everything happening inside of a city or a county. Maybe that was because we were doing a lot of work with parcels and we were integrating parcel data with all kinds of other applications (e.g., CAMA systems, permitting

Burke County and Iredell County Go Live with FARRAGUT AddressOne FARRAGUT Introduces Centerline Maintenance, a new Extension for AddressOne

Burke County and Iredell County Go Live with FARRAGUT AddressOne FARRAGUT Introduces Centerline Maintenance, a new Extension for AddressOne Longmont, Colo., January 10, 2011—FARRAGUT, a public sector software company, announced today that North Carolina’s Burke and Iredell Counties are now live with FARRAGUT AddressOne. AddressOne is a packaged software solution that streamlines address creation, validation, maintenance, and integration using GIS-based tools. “One thing that everyone in a county has is an address,” said Steve Ervin, Assistant Assessor & Real Property Manager with the Iredell County Tax Office. “Accurate address information is the key to county services such as emergency services, taxes, voting, and allocation of resources. It all comes back to the address.” Despite the focus on the address as a unifying point for almost everything a city or county does, most local governments’ addressing databases are riddled with errors and inconsistencies. Typically, addresses are assigned over many years by different people in different departments without consistent procedures and conventions. Burke County and Iredell County are among the first counties in the country to begin to realize the benefits of a county-wide system for managing addressing data. The first benefit is accuracy. “The right address can be a matter of life and death in an emergency,” said Chris Bridges, GIS/Mapping Administrator for Iredell County. “AddressOne has cleaned and validated our addressing database. We now have a lot more confidence in the accuracy and timeliness of our addresses.”

The Enterprise Addressing “Nightmare” — Sound Familiar?

Bill Campbell — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:12:47 GMT

Scott Black, the GIS manager for Burke County, N.C., just sent me this article which ran in his local newspaper. He was interviewed for the article based on our press release announcing the County’s purchase of FARRAGUT AddressOne. The article reads: “New technology will make it faster and easier to find and create addresses in Burke County.” Pretty cool! It was neat to see a newspaper write about the issues of addressing in local government.

Burke County Selects FARRAGUT AddressOne to Solve its Addressing Headaches

Farragut — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 01:40:15 GMT

Longmont, Colo., July 6, 2010—FARRAGUT, a public sector software company, announced today that North Carolina’s Burke County has purchased FARRAGUT AddressOne, the industry’s first and only GIS-enabled, enterprise addressing software product, to fix its addressing headaches.

Currently, Burke County—like most county governments—maintains its addresses in multiple systems. In Burke County’s case there are three separate systems—on paper, in a legacy database, and in its GIS system. “Every time we make a change, we have to roll out that change in all three systems,” said Scott Black, GIS manager at Burke County. “It’s a management nightmare. Plus, we keep losing data as things get misplaced, especially the paper.”

But Black anticipates that County’s filing cabinets stuffed full of maps and notes will soon be a thing of the past. AddressOne will integrate all three of its systems into one centralized system supported by powerful GIS tools and automation features that will allow County staff to work far more efficiently and effectively.

Spatial Focus and FARRAGUT Team Up to Fix Local Government’s Pervasive Addressing Problem

Farragut — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 21:21:43 GMT

Longmont, CO, January 18, 2010 – The management and distribution of addresses is a problem that has long challenged local government. Errors and inconsistencies in addressing lead to issues such as:

Decreased Revenues – Missing and/or wrong addresses can lead to tax assessment and collection problems, e.g., if you can’t find it, you can’t tax it
Public Safety – Errors and/or inconsistencies can cause emergency services to show up in the
wrong place
Voting – Errors can lead to votes being cast in the wrong district
Distribution of Services – Incorrect addressing can affect how services dollars are distributed
Cost of Maintenance – Maintaining multiple addressing systems can lead to duplication of effort, decreased efficiency, and bad data
Customer Service – Addressing errors can lead to frustration by the public
