Municipalities exist because of their property and people so it just makes sense to have that information available from a central location. The Tempest Land system allows you to reduce the redundancy and cost of maintaining multiple records throughout your municipality, further reducing the likelihood of errors.The Land module is the global foundation with which all Tempest applications are integrated. The Land database forms an inventory of properties, whether taxable or non-taxable, and corresponding information. Details are then accessed by other modules, providing a fully integrated system. These modules can also interface with a large number of industry leading General Ledger systems via tightly integrated export utilities while producing summarized levy, adjustment and payment transactions based on your GL code structure. In addition, they can also be integrated with virtually any GIS application to provide a link to a spatial view of all Tempest properties.The systems are designed with desktop integration in mind. This allows staff to access and manipulate all of the property information using the Windows-based PC applications to which they are accustomed.

Benefits

• Improve productivity by having the ability to define appropriate properties to which to attach and share information seamlessly throughout municipal hall
• Customer service is improved by increased efficiencies of data access and retrieval
• Historical information is maintained so you have the ability to find anything over the life of the property
• Properties can be set up well in advance of a formal registered plan and/or folio/roll number being set up
• Ability to attach any format of document to a land record ensures complete integrity of information

“I was new to municipal government when I started and I was very pleased with how easy the Tempest software was to use and learn. I use many of the modules on a daily basis and I feel it’s very intuitive software and very easy to navigate. It is also very forgiving should you make an error! I should also note that all of the staff at Tempest I’ve been in contact with, especially the support staff, have always been extremely prompt and friendly. You can tell it’s a group of people that take pride in their product and really stand behind it and they continually aim to make it the best it can be.”
