Rancho Cordova,
California, June 26, 2006 - Hansen Information
Technologies today announced that it has been selected
by the City of North Vancouver, British Columbia
to provide its .NET web-based Hansen 8 solution
for Asset and Work Management. Hansen's solution
will provide the City of North Vancouver the tools
required to better manage their infrastructure
and more effectively plan and track their resources.
After identifying the need to streamline asset
management and reduce overall cost through improved
planning, the City realized that their existing
Operation Management System lacked the functionality
to meet their requirements. In a joint effort,
the City's Engineering, Operations, GIS, Facilities,
Finance and IT departments conducted a thorough
review of submitted proposals. In addition to the
vendor's asset management capabilities, the City
also strongly considered reliability and GIS capability.
Hansen 8 was selected to meet the City's needs since
it was both the highest quality product and the solution
best aligned with the City's strategic direction
from an IT and corporate perspective. "I look
forward to using the Hansen system at the City of
North Vancouver," said Steve Ono, City Engineer
for North Vancouver and previous Hansen user. "It
will be an extremely useful tool to better manage
the City's infrastructure and resources."
The City will be implementing Hansen 8 in a phased
approach, using their in-house expertise in conjunction
with Hansen's professional services. The first phase
of delivery will include Hansen's Work Management,
Water, and Fleet solutions. Hansen's Citizen Relationship
Management, Sewer, Storm, Street, Plant, and Parks
products will be implemented shortly thereafter.
"Hansen is very excited about our project with
North Vancouver," said Mitch Bradley, Hansen's
Business Unit Director for Assets. "The City
has done their homework and is approaching this project
in a very careful manner. With the imminent PSAB
asset accounting standards, this project is not only
well-timed, but will position North Vancouver to
be compliant with those standards upon their adoption."

8 solution will be instrumental in
