Aligned Assets is 10 years old and recently celebrated this anniversary by hosting a customer open day focused on maximising the potential of Local Authority gazetteers.
The event was well attended with guest speakers from Cardiff City Council, Swindon Borough Council, Intelligent Addressing, Data Insight and Astun Technology. The programme was wide and varied covering a range of topics including citizen-centred web services, linking gazetteers to legacy systems, data warehousing and a presentation on how Transport for London has linked the street gazetteers of all of London’s 33 boroughs.
Since its launch in 1996 as an independent consultancy services partnership, Aligned Assets has grown into a highly respected specialist that provides complete GIS solutions to Local Authorities. By partnering with leading software vendors and through its own software development Aligned Assets is able to offer an extensive range of solutions that includes web mapping, enterprise GIS plus a suite of integrated products focused on e-government which is marketed under the Symphony brand.
Aligned Assets were responsible for the development of the original MapInfo BS7666 Toolbox and the Symphony Suite has been built on extensive experience gained working with the Local Authorities over the last nine years. The Symphony GMS launched in 2005 is already admired for its ease of use and its ability to link with other systems. Its development acknowledges the fact that Local Authorities not only have to deliver on e-government initiatives handed down by central government but also a need to protect their investment in existing systems
.
Aligned Assets has achieved double digit growth year on year for the last 8 years, employs 20 full time staff and its software solutions are hard at work on a daily basis with over 40 UK Local Authorities. The company has strategic partnerships with Oracle, Microsoft, ESBI, Laser-Scan, Spatial Technology and Astun Technology.
