UK company Symology has completed the implementation of its cloud-based Insight for street works solution at Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) well in advance of the EToN 6 deadline of 1 April 2014, including the migration of data from GCC’s existing system to the new street works traffic management system.

Insight for street works provides comprehensive functionality for the coordination of all activities which could potentially cause disruption on the highway, including utility and highway authority works, Highways Act licences, other obstructions on the highway and special events, such as sports fixtures, carnivals and parades.

Phil Cameron, traffic manager at GCC, says, “We liked the central system and the mobile solution, Symology were also brilliant about making changes to help us manage our NSG network, which had worked very well with our previous system and we didn’t really want to lose any functionality. The sticky point when moving to a new solution is always how to migrate the data safely, and the reassurance Symology gave about moving our data was encouraging. Symology gave us the confidence that they would provide a ‘business as usual’ solution for us, with a minimal level of ICT and related risks, and they proved true to their word.”
