efiniti Sample Sites

Manatron efiniti allows public or private agencies access to their maps via the Internet. Built with the latest GIS development tools, efiniti allows governmental agencies access to a fully integrated "GIS online" system including dynamic access to Manatron’s eGovernment suite of products for CAMA and Tax information. This easy to use solution makes maps available on any computer with an Internet connection.

Manatron has created efiniti as an affordable GIS tool for public agencies. efiniti eliminates the need to purchase new equipment, new hardware or mapping software – simple Internet access is all that is required. Web availability also eases collaboration between governmental offices as each agency is able to share the single storehouse of data. Office staff are able to be more efficient as duplicate data entry is avoided and the information becomes increasingly credible through the single database and standardized entry.

Through a secure Manatron server, maps are housed and updated through the Internet and information can be obtained quickly. Manatron efiniti performs everything from simple services such as address mapping to providing complex information through buffers and layered maps. efiniti's options include:

-E911 addressing
-emergency response mapping
-automated assessment calculations
-zoning/road and street/utility maps

efiniti GIS online provides a wealth of features and benefits that make GIS more powerful and practical than ever before.

Speed
 Manatron efiniti gives you speed other solutions don’t provide. Efiniti works with the latest image compression technology so your digital orthophotography will load quickly.
 
Ease of Use
 Manatron efiniti was designed with the end user in mind. Navigation is clear and easy to understand and query searches are easy to use.
 
Cost Savings
 Manatron efiniti makes GIS affordable right now. Manatron has eliminated the need to purchase state-of-the-art computer hardware or spend money or expensive software licenses. When Manatron hosts your data, all that is needed is Internet access.
 
Accuracy
 Manatron efiniti provides for reliable and accurate data through its single database and standardized entry.
 
Data Hosting
 When Manatron hosts your GIS data, we eliminate the need for expensive servers and software – all that is needed is Internet access to make GIS available to staff and the public.
 
Property Information
 Manatron efiniti stores all information on property record cards in a database that's linked directly to mapped parcels. ID card information may be viewed from a map link or the parcel can be viewed directly from the ID card. All this information is secure and easy to access in a matter of seconds.
 
Query Search
 Manatron efiniti's powerful search engine allows for searches by property address, owner name or any information on the property record card – allowing for customized searches.
 
Buffer
 The efiniti buffer feature provides easy access to parcel owners and addresses in a specific area. This eliminates the need for surveyors to go to the courthouse to look up parcels and owners. Parcel owners can be found in seconds, eliminating hours of tedious work.
 
Easy to Update
 Manatron efiniti allows for quick and easy updates to the data via the Internet.
 
Overlay Capabilities
 Manatron efiniti provides access to more than one layer of data. With specialized queries, users can create custom overlays that combine maps and yield exactly the detailed information they need. Also, users can link photos, drawings and other information to GIS maps.

Manatron efiniti Mobile

Puts GIS Mapping on the Move

Manatron efiniti mobile allows users to identify site locations immediately, on the road, anytime. Users view maps via a portable device such as a laptop computer or a tablet PC and, because the information is stored locally, a network or cellular connection is not required.

Built with ESRI’s® suite of development tools, efiniti mobile employs search capabilities for queries including, addresses, latitude/longitude coordinates, parcel numbers, intersections, road names and landmarks.

Utilizing Manatron efiniti mobile, on-site personnel spend less time flipping through paper maps and sifting through the clutter. The user-friendly application enables immediate location identification at their fingertips. Limitless data layers means efiniti mobile can manage road centerlines, addresses, and much more.

Other benefits include:
-access to digital orthophotography in industry standard formats
-selection of search features to detail reports
-customized layer symbology of a map, such as color, text size and font
 
Manatron efiniti mobile supports Phase I and Phase II wireless compliance through the use of longitude and latitude coordinates. Users quickly locate a 911 cellular phone caller and can view the location on a mobile data terminal with Manatron's compatible product Dispatch Watchdog. This system links the dispatch operator's computer in the call center with the on-site emergency personnel en route. efiniti mobile reduces the chance of arriving at the wrong address by reporting address ranges through the use of geocoding algorithms.

For the people responsible for maintaining your maps, efiniti mobile comes equipped with a full set of editing tools including "Wizards" to help reduce your learning curve.

GIS Services

E911 Mapping Services

E911 Pinpoint Addressing: This service is generally provided to an agency that has existing hard copy maps. Using these documents as the reference, Manatron is able to “digitize” the E911 addresses using ortho-rectified photography as the basemap. The end result is a map showing the primary address point with a leader line to the associated road.

E911 ReAddressing: Some rural jurisdictions currently use “Rural Route and Box Number” as their situs address. This is not conducive for emergency purposes because the “Rural Route and Box Number” is only meaningful to the post office (e.g. the fire department doesn’t know where RR 5 starts and stops).  A new “logical” address is assigned to every primary structure, cross referenced to the RR/Box Number and then the new address is hand delivered to each resident on an official Address Change document. The deliverable is identical to that of pinpoint address mapping except also included is a cross reference database of “old address” vs. “new address”.

Street Centerline Mapping: This service uses existing hard copy maps as well as ortho-recitified photography as a reference to digitize an intelligent street centerline map. “Intelligent”, means a user can select a particular centerline and the system will know all possible address ranges along that segment. This is an excellent tool to use for maintaining addresses because the intelligent map has the capability to automatically assign the address number – this is known as “geo-coding”.

Field Verification: Some jurisdictions do not have any paper source documents for 911 maps. As a result, the only way to gather existing information is drive each road in the jurisdiction and “field verify” or “field collect” all 911 address information.

Address Map Maintenance: Once an electronic map is created, Manatron is able to provide the client with periodic map maintenance services as an “outsourcing” option.

Training and Support

Manatron's custom training teaches participants to maintain data layers, develop new layers, or perform complex spatial queries. User guides, tutorials and reference guides direct the learning process and enables the end user to use data effectively.
