3545 Pitney Bowes Business Insight has announced that 1146 Balfour Beatty
WorkPlace has chosen Confirm OnDemand – PBBI’s on-demand-based
infrastructure asset maintenance and management system – to support its
US$158 million Highways Services Partnership with Southampton City
Council in the UK.
3548 Southampton City Council had previously been
using Confirm as an on-premise application to manage its highways
maintenance programme. Through integration with PBBI’s MapInfo
Professional location intelligence GIS software, the Council was able to
pinpoint defects in the road network and associated assets and expedite
the necessary repairs. On taking up the highways contract, Balfour
Beatty WorkPlace identified that moving to Confirm OnDemand provided an
ideal solution by significantly reducing hardware, implementation and
management costs. This is because Southampton’s Confirm OnDemand system
is run as part of a multi-tenanted infrastructure where hardware and
management costs are effectively shared between organisations.
Confirm
is a modular software solution for the maintenance and management of
public infrastructure assets and services including highways, lights,
structures, street works, property maintenance, grounds, trees,
cleansing and waste.
