-
OMG plc (AIM:OMG) the technology group providing image
understanding products for the entertainment, life science,
engineering and consumer electronics markets, is pleased to
announce that its infrastructure management arm, Yotta, has
expanded use of its software outside the UK, securing its first
European installation in the Netherlands for Horizons, the
visualised asset management software.
Under the terms of the contract, Yotta will work closely with
Wegdekmeten, its newly appointed distributor in the Netherlands and
Wegdekmeten's client, De Jong Zuurmond, a Dutch infrastructure
services company who will roll out Horizons across a number of
projects. These include maintenance of the fourth largest sea port
in the Netherlands and contracts with Rijkswaterstaat, an executive
of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment.
The Horizons software is a visual and user-friendly asset
management system, which will be used by Wegdekmeten to collate and
present detailed highway asset information, helping to inform
planning of maintenance works and condition reporting across the
Netherlands.
Fred Mekken, Owner, at Wegdekmeten commented: "We collect data
for all types of infrastructure assets on behalf of a range of
clients including contractors, such as De Jong, and owners
including government organisations. Working with Horizons we can
help them turn this data into information that can be easily
understood, shared and used to enhance decision making across a
diverse set of applications."
Gerrit Zuurmond, CEO, De Jong Zuurmond added: "The environments
in which we operate are complex and challenging and our clients
expect up to date, detailed and accurate reports on the services we
provide and the condition of their assets. Working with
Wegdekmeten, we can collect this level of data and now, using
Horizons, we can interrogate and analyse the data to improve
decision making and planning, and present the results in an easy to
understand way."
Commenting on the contract win, Nick Bolton, CEO of OMG
said:
"I'm delighted that we have secured this contract which marks
the first order and application of Horizons outside of the UK. This
represents a major milestone for Horizons which has been gathering
momentum since its launch in 2011. It's gratifying to see the
benefits have been recognised by such experts in Dutch
infrastructure asset management. We are looking forward to
developing our relationship with the team at Wegdekmeten and
helping them and their clients make the most of Horizons
capabilities.
We already have a well-defined development path to expand
Horizons further into Europe based on our initial partnerships with
Wegdekmeten and De Jong, and we are also looking to explore other
international opportunities."
