“ When we are questioned , whether it is about works or in response to a complaint , for example , we can quickly find the information on screen .
The system enables us to visit the location from the desktop , right down to seeing an actual image of the road surface thanks to the amount of video we have in the system . This allows us to see immediately what needs doing . This also reduces our day-to-day operational costs as the information is available to us with a click of a button and without having to send staff to site ”

Working with other systems
Iolo Jones says he would like to make more use of the system and is working towards gaining greater understanding of the Horizons analysis module . He also reports that work is underway to explore integration of Horizons with Anglesey ’ s Mayrise Street Works management system , which is now included in the Yotta DCL solutions portfolio following acquisition .
“ Mayrise is our management system and our inspectors use PDAs for daily inspections . They take these out on site to collect and report their findings back to the central system in the office . We want to integrate Horizons with Mayrise so that information can be shared more easily and we can eliminate duplication . This will benefit our inspectors and it also means that Horizons will be updated too with data direct from site without rekeying it ,” says Iolo Jones .
Gareth Jones , Senior Support Officer for Anglesey adds : “ Horizons is a very good and powerful system . With Horizons we are able to demonstrate that Anglesey is not only using modern technology in support of its highways decisions , it is also taking positive steps in improving the network in the most cost effective way . We are pleased with what we have achieved so far with the system and we look forward to what we can attain with it in the future .”
