CONCORD, N.H., June 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VUEWorks, Inc. today announced that GeoNet Technologies, Inc. of Prince Edward Island, Canada, has joined its channel partner program. GeoNet will offer sales, implementation, training, and ASP web hosting services for VUEWorks(r) GIS-integrated asset management solutions to municipal and utility clients located in Canada's Atlantic region.
GeoNet provides consulting and data services for municipalities of various sizes throughout Atlantic Canada. According to John Allen, Director of Business Development, "Until recently, many of our small- and medium-sized clients were only using GIS within their Planning departments. These same organizations are now seeing the value of extending their GIS use throughout the enterprise, and using the GIS data to better manage their physical assets.
"Organizations need to accurately forecast the costs of infrastructure maintenance, and plan for eventual replacement and upgrades. They need to record and track citizen call-ins, in order to maintain a historical account of maintenance, and provide proper service levels. The VUEWorks software is a cost-effective solution that addresses these essential decision making requirements, while providing web-based access to GIS throughout the organization. Other VUEWorks modules that satisfy requirements for Finance departments address mandatory accounting regulations (PSAB 3150). GeoNet helps municipal clients identify ways to optimize their investment in GIS, and VUEWorks can play an integral role in that optimization."
GeoNet's business and working relationship with VUEWorks is mutually beneficial, as GeoNet is focused on providing GIS data and consulting services that complement the VUEWorks applications. GeoNet consultants and technical staff can help with the design and development of geodata models, initial configuration, and ongoing data requirements, GeoNet is dedicated to supporting the customer through the entire Asset Management integration. As VUEWorks is a Web-based solution, GeoNet also offers application hosting (ASP model) for those who prefer not dealing with internal IT systems.
Commented Kenneth Spalding, P.E., Sales Manager for VUEWorks, "GeoNet is highly regarded in Eastern Canada, both for their GIS technical consulting expertise, and for their proactive approach in advising clients on solutions to help them work more efficiently and cost-effectively. Their dedication to customer service is exactly what we look for in a partner. We are very pleased to have them join the VUEWorks channel partner program."
