What are the EGS products?

The EGS (Electronic Government Solutions) suite will allow citizens and local agencies the opportunity to leverage the raw power of technology to provide a true sense of freedom of information. Assessor's information, deeds and mortgages data and images, as well as integration to current Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and family court information are all available from your home or office. What makes the products unique is their ability to access multi-platform information from the AS/400 iSeries and NT environments via the Internet. They work with your current platform allowing the EGS software to be incorporated within various environments for both the public and private sectors. This technology allows for data collection times to be drastically reduced and presented in graphical and concise formats. The products work in a real-time interface between end-users and actual live data eliminating the potential for data replication and inaccurate information. It also eliminates the need to maintain separate databases containing the same information.

How do the EGS products work?

EGS products allow users to easily access information via the Internet regardless of platform or where data resides. Based upon a search initiated by an end-user through a web browser, the application will return the search results where the end-user will select a specific record they would like to view. Once the requested record has been selected, the appropriate information will be served from the AS/400 iSeries through the web and displayed on the end user's computer. EGS will allow you to simply choose the type of information you are looking for in a specified county and search from the convenience of your home or office. The same process will occur for any information queried for GIS information on an NT machine. The software will integrate with any AS/400 iSeries database, and with GIS software such as ESRI's ArcIMS.
