KALAMAZOO, Mich., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Manatron, Inc. (NASDAQ:MANA), a leading provider of software products and services for State and local governments, including its Government Revenue Management(R) (GRM(R)) software, today announced over $1 million of new business in Indiana, one of its core markets. Manatron recently received a contract from Lake County, Indiana for its iDox product, through its distribution partnership with DoxTek, Inc. a leading provider of enterprise-wide electronic document solutions. iDox enables counties to electronically file personal property and sales disclosure forms that are in full compliance with state legislation and seamlessly interface with Manatron's MVP Tax system. Users are able to leverage their investment by exporting data from the iDox system directly into Manatron's tax billing system. Lake County, the second largest county in Indiana, and home to Gary, Indiana, is Manatron's largest client in the state with more than 250,000 parcels and 200 users of its Property Tax and CAMA software. Lake was the first county in Indiana to purchase and implement Manatron's MVP Tax solution back in 2000 and has been using Manatron's CAMA solution for over 10 years. The iDox solution has now been sold to 41 counties in Indiana. "It always pleases us to announce additional business with existing customers," said Paul Sylvester, Manatron's Co-Chairman and CEO. "Lake County has been a great client for us and continues to expand its relationship with Manatron. They also recently ordered a new server from us and contracted for services to help image the County's property ownership cards going all the way back to the 1930's and linking these records to our property tax system." Manatron also announced a new contract with Vigo County, Indiana for its MVP Tax system. Vigo County has over 96,000 Real, Personal, and Mobile Home parcels, is home to Terre Haute and is located about 75 miles west of Indianapolis. Vigo is migrating from an old, internally developed property tax system, and will be the 53rd county in Indiana to implement Manatron's MVP Tax software.
