DEVNET Edge vs Ingenuity CAMA

DEVNET Edge is an integrated land-records solution for local governments, covering the property-tax lifecycle from appraisal to collection. Its CAMA and assessment administration tools automate appraisal and assessment functions based on IAAO and USPAP standards. Billing & Collection handles current and delinquent taxes for real and personal property, including billing, collection, distribution, tax sales, and maintenance. EdgeMaps brings authoritative CAMA and tax data into Esri ArcGIS web maps embedded in Edge and wEdge. Permitting and Zoning tracks utilities, roads, topography, flood plains, zoning classifications, permits, and inspections. Records Management handles recording, indexing, receipting, and imaging for land and vital records. The wEdge web service provides real-time authoritative data access to the public, local offices, outside agencies, and partner organizations; its Web Services also give developers API access to property information. Hosted wEdge data is backed up on daily, weekly, and monthly schedules and stored offsite. DEVNET says it conducts penetration tests and audits and protects against SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Pricing is on request. Ongoing support is included during weekday business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time.

Ingenuity CAMA is a web-based system for property tax offices, spanning work from deed retrieval through final disbursements. It brings mapping, appraisal, assessment, collections and business personal property into one system, with a dashboard for administrators to follow progress across offices and annual deadlines. The deed process can retrieve probate documents recorded the previous day and alert the next unit when a mapping change needs attention. Assessment staff can process assessments and exemptions, track work, and notify customers about decisions or missing information. Collections handles bills, payments, integrated credit card processing, property information and reporting. Built-in accounting covers deposits, month-end reports, cashbook functions and bank reconciliation without third-party tools or exports. Business personal property tools include classifications, depreciation schedules, asset movement, online returns, disposal tracking and asset listing uploads. Modules integrate with In2Q queue management. Ingenuity says kickoff, training and implementation take place at the customer’s office. The system runs on the web; pricing is on request.
