RANCHO CORDOVA,
California - October 11, 2005 - Hansen
Information Technologies (Hansen®) today
announced that it was selected to provide a
comprehensive enterprise asset management solution
for the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana. As part
of its scope of work, Hansen will provide its
Hansen 8 suite of citizen-centric asset management
solutions, including Hansen's Work Order, Inventory,
Customer Relationship Management, Water, Sewer,
Storm, and Street modules, including integration
to the City's Intergraph Geographic Information
System (GIS).
"The City has used asset management for years, but the existing hardware
platform has become obsolete," said James Haley, Fort Wayne's Associate
Director of Utilities. "Hansen 8 will allow the City to take advantage of
advances in asset management technology, and facilitate business process improvement.
It can position our agency to maintain service levels while our population grows,
and allow us to publish key performance indicators in real time."
"Back in the 1980s, Fort Wayne had developed a custom mainframe-application
working with a firm in Boston named Peer Systems," said Chuck Hansen, Chairman
and CEO. "We were just introducing our first version of Hansen, written
for MS-DOS using COBOL, and we had missed hearing about the opportunity. To say
that I've been waiting for a chance to work with the City of Fort Wayne is an
understatement. With nearly a billion dollars in capital assets, Fort Wayne represents
a tremendous win for us." |
