Now in its third year, the SUG as it is affectionately known yet again provided the opportunity for the users of Aligned Assets’ Symphony Suite of products to come together from across the country to discuss and debate the world of gazetteers and GIS.Presentations included ‘Harnessing the power of the UPRN’ by Matt Hodgskiss the LLPG Custodian for Macclesfield Borough Council, which was particularly well received as was the update from Intelligent Addressing. This update included information about the transition from DTF 6.3 to 7.3 as well as compliance to the Traffic Management Act.
Key to the proceedings was a presentation of Aligned Assets’ new Street Naming and Numbering module, a tool designed to manage the complete lifecycle of naming a street or numbering a property, which will allow local authorities to increase productivity and efficiency.
Present from Aligned Assets were members of the technical team who were invited to partake in a Q & A session, whilst Commercial Director Phil Gee was there to discuss future developments that are in the pipe line.
The event was found to be highly informative to all that attended an example of which came from Jane Taylor, GIS Manager at Sefton Council who said, “Firstly, thanks to everyone at Aligned Assets and Macclesfield for a very informative and enjoyable user group last week. Everything I heard reinforces the belief that we have chosen the right software, and we will be able to move forward with our LLPG.”
