DEVNET Edge vs PVDNet Suite

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.

PVDNet Suite is a cloud-based property-tax system combining eAssessor/ePVA, eAuditor, and eTreasurer for CAMA and tax-and-billing professionals. It is designed for Indiana auditors, assessors, and treasurers, as well as Kentucky property valuation administrators. eAssessor/ePVA calculates values for land, improvements, and yard items across residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial real estate, and supports parcel sketching. eAuditor handles parcel transfers, ownership and transaction history, special assessments, tax-increment financing, and ditch-maintenance and reconstruction projects. eTreasurer tracks tax-bill liabilities, applies individual or multiple-parcel payments, calculates penalties, prints PDF bills, imports batch payment files, and archives historical and future-year data. Parcel records can be organized with groups and flags and linked to unlimited photos and documents. Reporting supports PDF, Microsoft Excel, CSV, and ad hoc reports with custom fields; a web API exchanges data with other applications. The cloud service includes backups, operational redundancy, training, support, and maintenance. GUTS states that PVDNet delivers 99.999% uptime and monitors servers and key components 24/7.
