Ascend™
is a comprehensive assessment administration and property tax revenue collection/distribution system designed to meet the needs of jurisdictions throughout the United States. Its noteworthy features include:
Unmatched Flexibility
Ascend™ is designed to be "configured" rather than "modified" to meet state and local requirements. Customers are assured that legislative changes can be implemented easily and quickly without costly reprogramming.
State-of-the-Art Software Design
Ascend's design combined with ASIX’ continuing research and development investments into new technologies ensure the software’s viability well into the future.
True "Accountability"
A GAAP-compliant (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) general ledger underlies Ascend’s financial processing. Revenue collection and fund distribution in Ascend exceed the most stringent audit requirements, a feature that is unmatched in the industry.
Tax Relief Management
Jurisdictions in many states face legislative mandates to administer a dizzying array of tax relief measures. Ascend’s tools are unique in calculating and applying the results to tax and levy processing.
Personal Property Taxation
Ascend includes fully integrated support for appraisal and assessment of personal property, including motor vehicles, and is designed to reduce the effort required to manage these accounts.
Open System Commitment
Ascend™ is a fully "open" application with well-documented application interfaces. These “API’s” enable our customers to integrate to any number of critical County applications like GIS, Imaging, Financials, and virtually any other solutions in place.
