MGISS, a leading UK-based geospatial technology company, has signed a partnership agreement with Leica Geosystems to drive a data-driven approach to the capture, management, and exploitation of asset information.
With AI, data analytics, and machine learning increasingly being used to drive value within utility and infrastructure organizations, it is essential that the asset data used is accurate and richly attributed to deliver the required results. The development of digital twins, BIM, and GIS are demonstrating the value of a data-driven approach to industry challenges surrounding productivity, resilience, and asset performance.
Making authoritative asset information more accessible
MGISS has been serving the needs of utility, infrastructure, and environmental clients for over a decade. With asset data management often seen as a cost center, the team is keen to ensure clients can leverage their investment in asset information as part of MGISS’s development of insight services to build asset management as a value center. By placing easy-to-use apps leveraging high accuracy satellite positioning in the hands of field users, the capture, management, and utilization of authoritative asset information has become more accessible to those tasked with maintaining the asset estate.
The inclusion of Leica Geosystems Zeno range of products to the portfolio will enable MGISS to operate with increased confidence across the UK’s utility, infrastructure, and environmental communities to drive economic value, resilience, and improved sustainability. The Zeno product range will allow MGISS to support its clients on their preferred Windows, iOS or Android platform and enable workflows that easily integrate with GIS systems including Esri.
Michael Darracott, managing director at MGISS, said that this partnership would strengthen their solution portfolio, support their plans for growth, and provide their customers with more readily integrated technologies to underpin their customer, operational, and sustainability goals in an increasingly challenging environment. Jonn Hicks, managing director at Leica Geosystems (part of Hexagon), stated that it was an easy decision for them to partner with MGISS, and they are looking forward to working with MGISS to provide Leica Geosystems GNSS sensors to deliver accurate data for the asset management market.
