Richmond, VA – Febuary 25, 2009 – Timmons Group, a leading provider of geospatial and engineering consulting services, was recently selected by Patriot Properties, a top provider of property assessment and taxation software and services, to provide software for GIS/CAMA integration. Patriot Properties announced today the purchase of unlimited distribution rights to their client base for Parcel LoGIStics and Sync LoGIStics from Timmons Group. This initiative will integrate the Timmons Group products for synchronization with Patriot’s AssessPro.

Parcel LoGIStics is a comprehensive set of management tools that makes the process of creating and maintaining parcel maps straightforward. Designed specifically for state and local government users, it is an extension to ESRI®’s ArcGIS® technology.

Sync LoGIStics provides seamless integration between ESRI®’s ArcGIS® and any land records system. Using ESRI’s core technologies and database functionality, it is a companion product to Timmons Group’s Parcel LoGIStics parcel maintenance software. Sync LoGIStics eliminates the need to make the same update to multiple databases. It automatically manages changes in the land records system when splits, merges, subdivisions, or boundary changes occur in the GIS application. Additionally, Sync LoGIStics includes tools to populate land records systems with fields of data that are derived from other GIS layers within a geodatabase.

ASSESSPRO by Patriot Properties combines state-of-the-art assessing software technology with user friendly, efficient and customizable design. AssessPro is written in and uses Windows(tm) based and web-enabled versions utilizing Microsoft(tm) SQL Database and Microsoft(tm) .Net Framework. ASSESSPRO is a total assessing package or can be a stand-alone Real Estate, Personal Property, or Sketching Module. AssessPro interfaces with Marshall Swift, ESRI, Intergraph, SPSS, Pictometry and many others. Patriot has also written a state of the art Billing and Collections package that is available nationally.

“Patriot Properties is a model for the type of company we look for when establishing industry relationships”, said Randy Trott, LS, a Principal with Timmons Group’s Geospatial Solutions Group. “Their corporate commitment to making ASSESSPRO a truly GIS-integrated solution is impressive, and we believe the Land Records and CAMA based GIS solutions we have worked to refine over the past several years to be an excellent fit with Patriot’s customer-focused solutions.”

“We are delighted to add Parcel and Sync LoGIStics to our product line through our new alliance with Timmons Group,” said James McCathern, CEO of Patriot Properties. “The synchronization of these products with AssessPro and the AssessPro GIS Viewer offer our clients and the Assessment Industry a terrific solution with industry leading CAMA and GIS applications tightly integrated that result in highly efficient workflow tools. Timmons Group has extensive experience in developing GIS and workflow applications for the tax assessment industry and we are pleased to be able to distribute their products to our client base.”

About Patriot Properties
Patriot Properties, Inc., was incorporated in June of 1985, founded by its current corporate officers with vast experience in the appraisal and revaluation field. Patriot is located outside of Boston, Massachusetts. The founders had several principles on which the new corporation was founded which separated them from other companies.  Aside from a dedication to timeliness and quality work, the owners of the company all work directly on client projects.  This philosophy results in more responsiveness and flexibility in meeting client needs and a closer association between the client and corporate objectives. 

In the 23 years since the founding, Patriot Properties, Inc., has converted and installed software, or provided services, for over 180 jurisdictions from Alaska to Florida. The Company’s original CAMA system was a multi-user DOS-based assessing system developed in 1985.  In 1995, a Windows® 95 and NT Client product, ASSESSPRO 4.1, was released. Our current application runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista. The company is currently in the beta/testing phase of a full .NET Application which will be released in 2010.
