Columbus,OH--Digital Data Technologies, Inc. (DDTI®), enhanced its AccuGlobe® Internet: Online Assessor™ solution with the completion of a Pictometry® add-on.

Pictometry International Corp., a leading provider of geo-referenced, aerial image libraries and related software, captures geo-referenced, high-resolution oblique and orthogonal images. When integrated to DDTI's existing Online Assessor property search, site users realize a new three-dimensional way to view property records.

DDTI's Online Assessor solution offers public users the ability to search property appraisal and geographic information systems (GIS) information. Online Assessor integrates computer aided mass appraisal (CAMA) data to GIS data, creating a searchable, interactive map of parcels for site visitors to survey. A map image of each record is standard with such property search solutions, but the Pictometry add-on offers another feature to further elevate DDTI's Online Assessor from its competitors, allowing users to see high resolution aerial images of their property from each cardinal direction.

In addition to the Pictometry add-on, the DDTI-provided mapping solution features common viewing tools like Pan and Zoom, intersection search, and selecting parcels by point, polygon or line. Users can also tailor their searches by turning on and off multiple layers, like soils, highways, flood zones and more.

Visit the new Pictometry add-on in action at DDTI's first hosted sites to implement: Ross County and Stark County, Ohio.

DDTI upgraded all assessor clients to a revamped web site design, including enhanced features and functionality in spring 2008. Following a client review period, developers streamlined the map interface and added intersection search functionality in November. This Pictometry add-on marks the third cost-free enhancement provided to Online Assessor web hosting clients in less than one year.

A more transparent but equally significant improvement for web clients was the company's December 2008 server co-location upgrade, which has virtually eliminated the chance of downtime, increased redundancies and freed up bandwidth which accelerates clients' connection speeds.
