ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
The ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government solution offers a suite of capabilities that assist in maintaining an authoritative address repository, continually improve the quality of address data, and share authoritative addresses with internal and external stakeholders. The solution includes an ArcGIS Pro project designed to be utilized by mapping technicians, address verification crews and other staff responsible for the gathering, maintenance, and use of authoritative road centerlines as well as valid site addresses and the associated postal addresses. It also includes a series of preconfigured ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks that can be used to validate, maintain, and improve the integrity of address data.
Address data capture is the process of collecting postal and site addresses for all buildings as well as structures, sites and structures that require an identification number. The capture of this information is a necessary step towards the creation of an authoritative road and street network that enables safe and efficient commerce and service delivery.

ArcGIS Pro is reusable. The elements within the project (such as scenes and maps) can be copied into other projects. Also project components (such as geodatabases and toolboxes) can be moved or renamed from one location to another. Many items can also be accessed via connections, without having to store them in the project file.
The Project tab is on the main page of ArcGIS Pro. You can select to open a recently completed project or create a brand new project by using a template. For instance, you could create a new project using the Map template which opens with a map view that displays a topographic basemap.

Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant Add-in provides a set of focused tools organized on the Data Assistant toolbar. These tools allow you to create the source and target configuration files, and load or replace data.
When used in conjunction with the Community Data Aggregation solution These tools allow the personnel from the organization to transform and load data sources into a community layer, and schedule automated updates to the layer on a regular basis. These tools allow you to modify the solution to fit your particular organization.
To utilize the Data Assistant Add-in you must install it on each ArcGIS Pro machine that will be used to migrate data to one or more layers of the community. To download the add-in, browse to the Content section of your ArcGIS company and click on the Data Assistant item.
Once the add-in is downloaded, follow the installation instructions to install it. After installation, you must close any open ArcGIS applications prior to opening a new ArcGIS Pro session.

Solutions that have been certified by CASS such as PostGrid can directly connect to the official USPS database and instantly verify an address. This can save time and increase accuracy of data.
This problem can be solved by building an authoritative address repository that can meet the needs of a variety of information requirements and continually improving its data quality through processes.

They will then be able to go out into the field to gather new addresses and verify the data collected by crowdsourcing. When they're completed, they can upload addresses back to the assignment in the office to get them incorporated into the authoritative layer of site addresses and marked incorporated.
