User Group Spotlight: Property Information User Group (PIUG)
About the User Group
The Property Information User Group (PIUG) brings Land Records Professionals together to discuss issues, workflows and answers to common problems. The group focuses heavily on technology and GIS systems as the mechanism to bring all interested parties together. A unique feature we offer is the Round-Table discussion. The discussion initiates conversations and questions that benefit our members and vendors.
Why the user group was formed?
Originally the group was formed exclusively to guide and enhance Beacon® (a web-based GIS application). Since then, it has morphed into a broad range of land record personnel and vendors that specialize in offering solutions.
