Standardize Addressing Across the Local Government Enterprise
The management and distribution of addresses is a problem that has long challenged local government. Few systems have been designed to manage and share address across the enterprise.
Typically:
- Multiple people in multiple jurisdictions enter the same address data
- This is not only a waste of time, it opens the door to errors and inconsistencies
- The data is entered using different vertical applications (which rarely share information)
In turn, errors and inconsistencies can lead to problems with:
- Public Safety — Errors and/or inconsistencies can cause emergency services to show up in the wrong place
- Revenues — Missing and/or wrong addresses can lead to tax collection problems (e.g., if you can’t find it, you can’t tax it)
- 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 cause a host of problems including trouble obtainin services for some citizens
