Orchard and Innogistic sign landmark deal to deliver GIS to Housing Associations
Orchard Information Systems, the UK’s leading independent supplier of Housing Management Systems and geospatial experts, Innogistic, have signed a strategic partnership designed to deliver the benefits of GIS to the UK Housing Market.
John Doughty, Orchard's Sales Director comments:
"More and more Housing Associations are recognising the potential of GIS. The ability to visualise housing stock on a map, down to the detail of the building and its grounds, and thematically display information on tenancy status, maintenance records, energy efficiency, debt and so on, helps managers make more informed decisions about their stock.”
Doughty continues:
"We looked at the GIS market and decided to partner with Innogistic because of the combination of their leading technology and track record of working with Housing Associations. Understanding the business requirements is key.”
Speaking of the agreement, which licenses Orchard to embed and link Innogistic technology into the heart of their housing system, Jason Jones, GIS Business Manager at Innogistic comments:
"Orchard is one of the leading suppliers of Housing Management solutions in the UK, and our partnership agreement places Innogistic right at the heart of this growing market for GIS. Combining Innogistic’s GIS expertise and Orchard’s domain knowledge of the Housing sector will be a winning combination, set to deliver enormous benefit to end users.”
The agreement was signed on 16th April, at Orchard’s head office in Newcastle upon Tyne.
