City Experiences Increased Productivity Utilizing Cityworks
Sandy UT — Azteca Systems, Inc., the leading provider of GIS-centric asset maintenance management solutions, announced today that the City of Woodland, CA has realized great success using Cityworks for their maintenance management needs. In a recently published article in Woodland’s eNEWSLETTER, the city detailed their use of Cityworks and how the tool has enhanced productivity within the organization.
The City of Woodland, like many other cities, manages and cares for a wide variety of capital assets and infrastructure. Woodland has been a Cityworks user for over three years, using the system to track utilities, right-of-way, and city-owned facilities. In the past 12 months alone, they have logged 3,323 service requests and 8,943 work orders. Cityworks enables Woodland staff to plan work in advance and address projects that need immediate attention.
“Cityworks has been a great asset to our Public Works Department,” says Johanna Currie, Management Analyst at the City of Woodland, CA. “It allows us to pull up information and reports with the touch of a button, rather than having to sort through reams of paper and books of maps. By utilizing Cityworks and ArcGIS, we can determine what needs to be fixed and schedule work accordingly and quickly. Public Works is ensuring that we get the most ‘bang for our buck’ when we send our crews out on repair and maintenance jobs.”
Though currently in the process of implementing ESRI’s ArcGIS, the city originally deployed Cityworks in a standalone mode. As the GIS asset data comes on line, users have the capability to link service requests and work orders to assets and other geographic features, leveraging their investment in GIS data. The Geographic Information System can be used to create maps and track the city’s assets - such as fire hydrants, water valves, sewer lines, traffic signs, and ball fields - along with all of the information connected with these assets.
“The City of Woodland is superb example of how cities can utilize Cityworks to improve the workflow of their organization,” says Brian Haslam, President of Azteca Systems. “We see this in all kinds of organizations: GIS is a work in progress, yet Cityworks can be deployed to manage and track assets before they are actually created in the GIS. The number of service requests and work orders that Cityworks has logged for them within the past year illustrates one of the many benefits the software is having in the city. We are confident that our software will have the same success in any other city or organization that chooses to use it.”
