Yotta DCL Extends Partnership with East Sussex County Council

- Series of contracts to maximise value of highway network assets -

-East Sussex is a recent addition to Yotta's Horizon Software as a Service offering-

 

OMG plc, (LSE: OMG), the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, announces that its highways technology arm, Yotta DCL has secured a series of contracts with East Sussex County Council to help the Council manage its highway assets.

 

During 2013, Yotta DCL has successfully added East Sussex County Council to its asset management Software as a Service ("SaaS") Horizons product. The first stage of work involved a video survey of the 3500-km highway network with data extracted and delivered using Horizons. Following the video survey, the Council has now engaged Yotta DCL to provide strategic consultancy services and has also purchased additional Horizons software modules.

 

In addition, East Sussex has introduced Yotta DCL to its maintenance contractor in order to facilitate the development of a fully integrated asset management solution that will support the whole highways maintenance supply chain. This IT innovation will be a seamless interfacing of Horizons with Barium Live business-process management software, which like Horizons is a cloud delivered system.

 

Yotta DCL has provided highway surveying to East Sussex for many years. These additional awards won through competitive tendering highlight the value Yotta DCL can offer through its Horizons SaaS product and consultancy services, particularly in the area of strategic advice. We are also pleased to be working with the Council's contractor to develop a cutting edge asset management and supply chain solution. By combining asset inventory video surveys with its Horizons product, Yotta DCL is able to deliver the asset data, provide analysis, develop maintenance schemes and select appropriate treatments and benefits that no other company currently provides.

 

Commenting on the Partnership, Chris Dyer, Highway Asset Manager, East Sussex County Council said:

 

"Yotta DCL is a trusted partner and our relationship provides many benefits to East Sussex that extends well beyond surveying and data extraction. Yotta DCL is assisting us strategically, helping us to look at our network holistically to develop asset management schemes that are cost effective and deliver real value in maintaining our highways. Yotta DCL's skills and knowledge as well as its application of cutting edge technology such as Horizons, complement our own capabilities perfectly and aid us in making the best decisions based on sound engineering principles."

 

Commenting on the new contracts, Nick Bolton, CEO of OMG, said:

 

"We welcome this opportunity to work more strategically with the Council to help maximise the value of its network and enable it to gain greater intelligence on the condition of its assets. East Sussex County Council is very forward looking in its approach to highways management and our Partnership demonstrates that Yotta DCL has much more to offer highways authorities than just surveying. This contract also vindicates the value of our Horizons SaaS offering which continues to gain traction."
