MS Govern Adds a Canadian Capital to its Customer Base
St. Louis, MO, January 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Management Solutions for Government (MS Govern), a division of Harris Computer Systems, is pleased to announce the addition of the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to its growing customer base to help manage the Assessment needs. The City of Winnipeg Assessment and Taxation Department (ATD) is responsible for the delivery of assessment and taxation rolls in compliance with the Municipal Assessment Act (MAA) and the City of Winnipeg Charter. The ATD is responsible for approximately 211,000 realty parcels for an approximate 2010 assessment value of $59 billion and approximately 13,000 business assessment parcels with an approximate 2010 assessment value of $925 million.
Winnipeg lies at the geographic centre of North America. Winnipeg (population 742,408) is the capital city of Manitoba, a resource-rich province of 1.2 million people bordered by Ontario to the east, Saskatchewan to the west, and North Dakota and Minnesota to the south. The city is just 100 km (62 miles) from the United States. Winnipeg has become a significant grain centre on the American continent, the financial, commercial, wholesale and manufacturing centre of the Midwest, owing to its geographical position and its tremendous railway facilities, with branches reaching out in every direction.
Winnipeg’s history is the tale of a prime meeting place at the junction of two rivers – the north-flowing Red and the east-flowing Assiniboine. Winnipeg is a welcoming gateway, a centre of commerce and trade, a centre for arts and culture, with a rich history and growing economic opportunity.
Winnipeg has the most diverse economy of major cities in Canada. Key industries include: transportation and distribution, aerospace, agribusiness, finance and insurance, life sciences and biotechnology, information and communications technology, media, tourism, electric power, apparel, furniture and advanced manufacturing. Winnipeg is also one of the most culturally diverse cities anywhere. Some 100 languages are represented in the region and Winnipeg is well known for its cultural achievements and flourishing arts scene.
“We are very excited to add the City of Winnipeg to our list of Canadian customers to help its staff manage the City’s Assessment needs. The Govern Software will provide the City’s ATD staff with improved functionality to support the unique legislative requirements in the Province of Manitoba and to improve the quality of the roll, and value all residential, commercial and business parcels using industry standards and best practices along with seamless integration with existing systems. With the flexibility and configurability of the Govern Software, the City can maintain and configure the Software as its business processes evolve. With Harris' valued business model, we will build a long term partnership with the City,” states Richard Beaini, Regional Sales Director.
“The City of Winnipeg embarked on a rigorous process in finding a partner for developing an IT solution suitable for our unique current and potential future assessment needs as well as our varied business process. We were pleased with the flexibility and capabilities offered by the Govern Software and look forward to working with them as the solution is deployed within our environment,” said Nelson Karpa, Project Sponsor and Director of the Assessment and Taxation Department.
The City and MS Govern team had a successful project kick-off.
