MAYRISE maps Harrogate's street lights
22 October 2006, 12:07pm
Harrogate Borough Council has implemented an advanced service management and mapping system from Mayrise Systems to improve the provision of street lighting within the borough.
MAYRISE™ Street Lighting and integrated MapNow mapping software provides instant access to the Council's street lighting asset inventory. The system automatically generates planned maintenance works and facilitates the management of fault reporting and repair in order to meet the Council's service delivery targets.
Harrogate Council is responsible for maintaining approximately 12,000 street lighting units, illuminated signs, beacons and bollards. With published performance targets, including repair of reported faults within 5 working days and ensuring 98% of all units are operational, it was essential the Highways and Transport Division had an information management tool that was easy to use, capable of integrating with third party software and fit for purpose.
The Mayrise system replaces an under- performing solution and was chosen following rigorous system evaluation and market feedback.
"MAYRISE is not just quicker than our previous system, it is instant. We have access to historical records, ongoing service issues and planned maintenance works, improving our customer service and reducing paperwork. We are hoping to give staff in our Customer Service Units direct access to the same details by integrating with our Northgate CRM tool to further improve performance levels." Says David Oliver, Street Lighting Engineer at Harrogate Borough Council.
MAYRISE manages all data associated with a lighting unit; legacy records from Harrogate's previous system were imported to ensure historical information was not lost and ongoing fault and maintenance records are created and maintained. Using MAYRISE staff at the Council have instant access to inventory, maintenance and contractor records.
An ongoing data capture programme will improve the accuracy of this information by accurately recording the position of every lighting unit using MapNow, the integrated mapping software from Mayrise Systems.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.Lack of Location Awareness is ‘Analytical Blind Spot’ for Organisations.
Traditional Business Intelligence has looked at the ‘who’, ‘what’, and ‘why’ around data, but has ignored the ‘where’. Location is a core analytical dimension. Within this data lies a vast pool of intelligence that largely remains untapped for organisations. This rich data source is particularly important for UK Public Sector organisations in enabling a single view of the citizen, delivering citizen self-services, improving compliance, and optimising cost efficiencies.
Location is ubiquitous and influences most, if not all, business behaviour and outcomes – yet a lack of location awareness remains an analytical blind spot for a large number of organisations who have not considered how the geographic and location aspects of the data they hold affects their business processes… More…
