To meet these demands, Esri Canada introduces Assessment Analyst: a powerful data maintenance application that integrates building sketches, imagery, data and analytics through Esri s ArcGIS platform. It fully integrates GIS with CAMA, providing you with a single platform to perform a wide variety of activities without the need to transfer data between systems, subsystems or viewers. The result is improved data integrity, more accurate assessments and less time required to complete your work. With Assessment Analyst, you ll benefit from an integrated, powerful solution that s easy to use: Optimize property tax revenues by revealing hidden omissions or inaccuracies in your assessment data, and then correcting the data from your desktop Ensure uniformity and equity in your data maintenance protocol Produce more accurate assessments through improved data quality, 3D visualization and refined valuation models Implement a cyclical reassessment/re-inventory program with less manual work Ensure compliance with reassessment and re-inventory standards set by the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) 1 such as the mass appraisal standard requiring complete and accurate data, effective valuation models and proper management of resources Reduce costs through increased productivity, less adhoc data maintenance and fewer onsite inspections Use Assessment Analyst to: Visualize property data against integrated imagery and building sketches for improved accuracy Make changes to a building sketch and have the changes automatically populated in the CAMA database Leverage spatial analytics for better insight and decision-making Reassess properties and make calculations on-the-fly Identify, correct and resolve data errors directly from the desktop Monitor productivity, manage and track tasks and jobs for improved coordination Leverage 3D visualization to complete your work Improve data integrity for accurate mass appraisals 1 Esri Canada Assessment Analyst 1 International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) <

3 Assessment Analyst is a customizable solution that allows you to visualize and modify a variety of data simultaneously while automating many aspects of your workflow.

4 Assessment Analyst Assessment Analyst offers one of the most tightly integrated data environments on the market so that you can visualize and correct a vast array of data simultaneously. An integrated suite of components includes: CAMA datasets Fully integrated GIS and CAMA data allows you to perform a wide variety of activities from a single platform Adjust building sketch areas and have the changes automatically appear in the data field Calculate the contributory value of data corrections on-the-fly Oblique imagery Integrate many types of oblique imagery Fully integrate Pictometry desktop and online products Zoom in and out of imagery and visualize buildings from many different angles Pan around your map and have the imagery synchronize to your actions Street front photos Digitally review a property by accessing and comparing street front photos Use high quality images and magnification to validate building grades and conditions Verify and correct street addresses Change detection using Sketch Verification Utilize georeferenced sketches on orthophotography for initial change detection Easily identify new construction and other data anomolies Building sketches Includes a fully integrated Apex sketch package Supports all sketching applications Change your sketch and have the data and value change automatically Project tracking and analytics Leverage an intuitive dashboard to monitor the status of the project View the full history of a project s progress per parcel record Monitor assessed value and roll quality changes as they occur Conduct project-wide and generate progress reports Integrated Sketch Analytics Streetfront Photo CAMA Data Thematic Layers & Georeferenced Change Detection Oblique Imagery 3 Esri Canada Assessment Analyst

5 Harness powerful visualization & analytics to conduct your work Assessment Analyst allows you to conduct more work from your desktop, reducing the need for onsite inspections. Leverage the ArcGIS Platform to virtually pan around neighbourhoods and click on parcels to access all of the information that you require to perform your assessments. different angles. Zoom in and out of street front photos to get a clear look at a property and surrounding infrastructure. Quickly identify new construction and demolitions. Analysis capabilities include market segmentation, property use and market variable At a glance, determine a property s roof cover, square. For example, you can integrate and run footage, pool and garage, permit and sale information. valuation models to determine expected assessment Use oblique imagery to visualize a building from many values for a property given a set of input factors. Audit, cleanse and resolve data issues to operate more compliantly Assessment Analyst goes beyond traditional desktop review systems by allowing you to not only identify data anomalies, but also, make corrections on-the-fly. You re able to detect and resolve existing data and valuation errors. Conduct measurements using oblique imagery and make corrections to the corresponding building sketch. Adjust line work and have the changes automatically populate in the CAMA database. This removes traditional barriers to maintaining cyclical data: you no longer need to rely on field staff to conduct measurements onsite and can complete this work from your desktop. Ad hoc reassessment programs are also no longer required. Ensure compliance with IAAO standards through more accurate assessments and better quality data. Compare building sketches with aerial photography to check for anomalies. The ability to identify data anomalies makes it easier to spot instances of new construction or other changes that are conducted without a permit. Ultimately, correct data equates to more accurate valuations and more equitable distribution of property taxes. Assessment Analyst Esri Canada 4

6 Effectively manage projects through an intuitive dashboard Assessment Analyst provides you with an intuitive dashboard to effectively monitor the progress of ongoing appraisal projects. View the full history of a project s progress per parcel record. Conduct project wide by filtering visible records per appraiser, date ranges and other criterion. Generate reports on the overall project status, as well as each individual workflow task and supply these reports to supervisors. Monitor progress by day, week or month. Take advantage of unprecedented 3D 3D models provide a perspective that is simply not possible with 2D. Through 3D visualization, you can accurately assess properties from almost any angle. Leverage Assessment Analyst to compare assessment values to actual sale prices and visualize the results in 3D. Precisely build 3D condominium parcels, conduct mass valuations and display the output. Review, analyze and edit your data all with a third dimension. 5 Esri Canada Assessment Analyst 3D visualization makes it possible to easily and accurately assess strata units. See how factors such as obstructions to building views and amount of sunlight affect property values. Analyze individual units by rent costs, vacancy and square footage.
