Confirm OnDemand to Maintain Southampton's Highways

Southampton City Council had previously been using Confirm as an on-premise application to manage its highways maintenance programme. Through integration with PBBI's MapInfo Professional location intelligence GIS software, the Council was able to pinpoint defects in the road network and associated assets and expedite the necessary repairs. On taking up the highways contract, Balfour Beatty WorkPlace recognised the value of Confirm, but also wanted to make the maintenance programme more cost-effective.

Balfour Beatty WorkPlace quickly identified that moving to Confirm OnDemand provided an ideal solution. Moving Confirm from an on-premise to on-demand environment has already significantly reduced hardware, implementation and management costs. This is because Southampton's Confirm OnDemand system is run as part of a multi-tenanted infrastructure where hardware and management costs are effectively shared between organisations.
