A Property Data Reformation SPLITTING THE ATTOM
BY STEPHEN MEEKS PRODUCT MANAGER, ATTOM DATA SOLUTIONS
When Martin Luther wrote his 95 theses 500 years ago, it sparked a reformation that profoundly changed how Christians interacted with their ultimate source of truth: the Bible.
Rather than accessing that truth through the intermediary of the existing church hierarchy – which often added its own layer of explanation on top of the Scriptures -- believers were ultimately able to read the scriptures in
their own language and interpret it on their own thanks to the ripple effects of the reformation. But it wasn’t just theological innovation that helped quickly spread the Protestant Reformation. The technological innovation of the printing press about 75 years prior to the 1517 posting of the 95 theses enabled the bible to be printed in new languages
“Believe it or not, there are parallels to the Protestant Reformation in the world of property data.”
