Business North Another significant piece of software the company has developed is Land Asset Management Application (Llama), which assists companies who need to track assets and compliance with legislation such as the Resource Management Act by monitoring consents and the work required to ensure that the conditions of consents are met over a wide geographical area. The software allows the user to zoom in on a map and download various documents associated with each site. Both DataPoint and Llama utilise Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, which BTW has used in-house for a number of years to support the many functions the company performs for clients. “In 2006, at the request of one of our clients, we researched and developed a system which allowed our internal projects to be shared securely over the internet with our client,” says Aitken. It was the start of on-going development of GIS for the company, which provides the ability to collect, store, analyse, manage, present and make accessible various types of spatial data. All information is available to the client and their staff anywhere they can log onto the internet giving instant access to up-to-date information including reports, correspondence, leases, consents and maps. According to Aitken the benefits can be significant. “As everyone manages their assets differently the BTW GIS system can be altered at any time to address additional requirements or to trial ideas. “Time linked reminders highlight critical compliance dates such as lease payment/review/ expiry and, consent lapse and expiry dates,” he says. BTW Company offer consultancy services in the fields of planning and resource consenting, surveying and mapping, civil and structural engineering as well as GIS. The company has a team of developers including two GIS technicians, a computer programmer and an information technology expert.. We have an IT steering committee to identify what we need to do to be a leader in our field and ensure we are always making the most of the technology available. “Our focus is always to keep moving ahead and stay at the forefront.”
