RANCHO CORDOVA, California - July 11, 2005 – Hansen Information Technologies (Hansen®), a leading provider of government enterprise solutions, today announced the City of Lancaster, California has awarded Hansen a contract to provide the City’s Public Works Department with Hansen 8, a 100% XML-Based solution that will help the department increase operational efficiency and enhance customer service to its estimated 129,000 residents.
Through Hansen 8, Lancaster’s Public Works Department will be able to streamline workflow and customer service processes within its Building and Safety, Engineering, Maintenance and Transportation Divisions. Specifically, Hansen 8’s Roadway, Mobile Solutions and Integrated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solutions, will help the City develop and implement more efficient methods of managing work orders and developing a detailed database of its transportation assets, including roadways, signs, signals, and lane markings. Users will also be able to take advantage of wireless inspection features that will eliminate manual data entry.
Hansen 8 is a 100% XML-Based web services solution that easily integrates
with Hansen’s DynamicPORTAL™ technology allowing residents with online
access to pull building permits and submit and view service requests. Leveraging
Hansen’s workflow engine, these requests are processed and tracked through
the Hansen application, keeping the citizen informed throughout the entire
business life cycle. In addition, City staff will be able to provide faster
responses to user requests and questions by using Hansen 8.
Hansen 8's ability to support an advanced 100% XML-Based web services architecture
allows cities like Lancaster to provide users with a flexible, intuitive and
easy-to-use solution to enhance operations. Hansen 8 is a 100% server-side,
ZERO client-side software solution that eliminates the need to load, maintain,
or support application code on a remote PC. Hansen 8 does not require any third-party
plug-ins, adaptors, or message brokers, commonly required in Java and J2EE
solutions.
"The City of Lancaster was looking for a single software system that can
support all aspects of Public Works Management in a simple streamlined platform.
With
Hansen 8's customizable work screen, complete asset management modules, GIS
integration and user friendly platform, we believe choosing the Hansen system
was a step in the right direction for our Department and City," said Randy
Williams, Director of Public Works, P.E.
"Hansen is excited to add another Southern California agency to its list
of customers,” said Mitch Bradley, Hansen’s Business Unit Director
for Assets. “We look forward to helping the City of Lancaster maintain
its investment in infrastructure to the highest standard possible, with the
use of Hansen 8's industry leading Roadway product family, mobile solutions
and integrated GIS."
