about us

Assurance Software

Founded in 2002, Assurance Software began by building custom software solutions for Tuscaloosa County Alabama in an effort to migrate each office to a modern technology platform. Since then, Assurance has expanded into serving multiple states and now provides a robust suite of software applications that county and municipal agencies use to serve the public. Even though we have grown to serving more than half of the population of Alabama and have launched our Property Tax Collections system in Georgia, we are still a privately owned, client-first, relationship centered company.

Our Mission

Our mission is to glorify God by creating a better world through technology and relationships.

Our Vision

To establish Assurance as the premier purveyor of the finest government technology in the nation while maintaining our uncompromising principles as we grow.

Core Values

If you want to know who we are, get to know what we strive to be every day through our core values.

We strive to be HONEST. We are committed to always being honest with each other and our clients. It is in times of difficulty, where a person’s honesty truly shows.

We strive to be WISE. Wisdom is more than just knowledge. Wisdom is not only having knowledge but knowing how to apply it to discern better. For us, wisdom translates to knowing when and how to communicate what we have learned with others.

We strive to be HUMBLE. We have not arrived. There will always be room for improvement in our software, in our company, and in our personal lives. We commit to always being willing to listen and to learn.

We strive to be HUNGRY. Vince Lombardi said, “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
