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.

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
