“We are excited that we have gone live and are now in production with the new Manatron product,” said Jim McLean, Orangeburg County Tax Assessor. “I know we have more work ahead but based on my experience over the past few months, I don't think we could have found any organization with more knowledge and attention to detail than Manatron.”
