PORTAGE ? Manatron announced the introduction of GRM Valuation, the newest in its Government Revenue Management suite of products.
GRM Valuation provides new technology for handling many previously time-consuming appraisal-related challenges, such as allowing the final value determination for an appraisal site to be distributed to the parcels associated with it. The GRM Valuation software also provides crucial point-in-time appraisal capabilities and multiple methods of valuation within each of the main valuation approaches, while also providing robust analysis capabilities.
?GRM Valuation is the realization of decades of property valuation, knowledge and experience,? said Bill McKinzie, senior vice president and general manager of the government segment for the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters.
The easy-to-use, browser-based software offers what no other system in the marketplace today can: multiple deployment options and absolute accuracy by using the latest advancements in geographical information systems, sketching and workflow. Furthermore, Manatron has created its new software with ?true usability? in mind by utilizing intuitive screens and features for better efficiency across all users, no matter their computing skillset.
The GRM Valuation application contains the following key components:
? GRM Records: the core component of every GRM installation provides a single data entry source delivering time savings and increased data accuracy to a jurisdiction. It provides a complete inventory of the parcels, filings, business revenue or motor vehicles, along with a list of the legal parties who have an interest in the inventory.
? GRM Assessment Administration: is designed to easily handle the most complex property assessment rules. It correctly maintains the property inventory and valuation data used to determine assessed values for the assessment roll.
? GRM Real Property: is a ?pluggable valuation? module that supports multiple techniques for the three approaches to value. Each calculation engine is independently built and subscribes to a standardized attribute set.
? GRM Personal Property: is a complete import and discovery preview tool to match, preview and then merge data from external sources. In addition, integration with reporting services provides customized standard system reports, filings and extracts using GRM-provided system templates.
? GRM Appeals: provides a robust workflow to handle any size jurisdiction, no matter the complexity of the process, including public portal web services, tax agent management, hearing scheduler and processing touch.
Developed on the GRM iFramework, a unique technology platform built on Microsoft.NET?, GRM Valuation is a modifiable and ready-to-install, off-the-shelf system. It is also completely insulated from technology changes and seamlessly integrated with the entire GRM suite of products. This gives customers the time-saving seamless capability of inquiring, capturing data, reporting and utilizing workflow to track a parcel from creation through valuation, assessment, and taxation.
GRM Valuation is part of a suite of fully-integrated enterprise-level Government Revenue Management solutions from Manatron to help government offices manage the entire property life-cycle.
