We are excited to introduce the NEW Matix logo for our Matix Application! As we communicated in our January 2021 newsletter, Matix is a powerful GIS tool that is easy to use. Matix is capable of connecting to your Harris Govern CAMA database and query data in a variety of different ways. This CAMA data can be joined to GIS data elements to allow for advanced data visualization with themes and tabular data views. It is a great tool for you to perform data analysis and visualize your data in a very different way to help you make better decisions.
Here's what a few Harris Govern clients have to say about Matix:
-
"We Love It! The map and data view interface provides an appraiser more information than GIS 2.0 did. We also like the increase in performance as compared to what we had previously in 2.0", said Cody James Wars, Appraisal Director for Trinity County Appraisal District.
-
"We love Matix. The additional data that is available when viewing the map is wonderful", said Daisy Watson, Appraisal Supervisor for Cooke County Appraisal District.
Join the over 30 clients (and counting) who have purchased Matix!

BI is the newest feature introduced through Evolution as an add-on module. BI captures the immense amount of data available in PACS and introduces data visualization. Users can access visual progress reports or analyze data trends to communicate with entities, taxpayers and staff.
We are excited to have deployed BI to a handful of our clients. We anticipate their feedback once they have a chance to get through their busy season, so stay tuned.
