Covering a range of software and professional services, the new two-year contract includes licences for Yotta’s visualised asset management platform Horizons, which is branded by Highways England as PIT, their Programme Investment tool.
Highways England, formerly the Highways Agency, originally awarded a contract to a consortium, including Yotta, for asset management support software and services in February 2014. Following on from this, a two-year contract, with an optional additional two years, has been awarded in August 2015 and secured through the Government procurement initiative G-Cloud. G-Cloud is an online service designed to ease procurement by public sector organisations, such as Highways England, of cloud based IT services such as Horizons.
Horizons is a visualised Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) asset management platform designed to make it easier for asset managers to visualise, manage and optimise all their asset management strategies and records in a unique and effective way, using a single cloud-based solution. Since launching to market in 2012, Horizons has revolutionised asset management across a range of applications and is now used by around 50 local authorities in addition to service partners and maintenance contractors in the UK. In 2014, Yotta launched Horizons internationally, and has already achieved successful implementations in Europe and Australia.
Chris Larsen, at Highways England said:
“Our initial experience of the Horizons platform has been very positive with feedback from our internal forums including comments such as ‘intuitive’ and ‘easy to use’.”
