US-based 542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) will be presenting its vision of the future at a business solutions summit for traffic consultants this week in southern California.

Traffic management systems provider GTT will discuss the continued expansion of its managed services business and claims that, with the right infrastructure in place, it is able to monitor intersection and vehicle equipment remotely, conduct routine maintenance and provide useful data to traffic personnel with its robust reporting capability. By ultimately managing thousands of deployments, GTT is able to pass savings along to its customers and estimates that the annual subscription for the service is significantly less than the annual cost savings that can be realised by GTT's solutions.

GTT's customer care helpdesk provides support for any reported problems and escalates issues appropriately; when an on-site service call is needed, the local dealer is deployed to handle things at the local level.

"The days of having to deploy applications on IT infrastructure within the four walls are gone," Said Doug Roberts, CEO of GTT. "It's time to move to the cloud and enable all of the benefit that comes from doing so. These services make a lot of sense for our customers, our dealers and GTT."
