District Seminar Success
Last month The Technology Forge held the first of our regional AMP seminars in Manchester designed specifically with District councils in mind. The day was a great success with an excellent turnout. We were extremely pleased to receive such warm compliments and useful feedback;
‘Food for thought, direction and inspiration from all the presentations.’
‘Congratulations in providing an excellent seminar.’
‘Interesting to see different software solutions.’
By the end of the day, delegates stated that they had gained a clear picture of what can be done to boost and streamline their Asset Management plans and many were keen to ask about tf.facility lite, our cost-effective asset management solution aimed at smaller councils.
Presentations included North Somerset Council’s Jamie Longmuir who was profile the councils estate management experiences M squared asset management consultants provided a discussion on how district councils can prioritise spending and increase the efficiency of asset management plans. The Technology Forge demonstrated how our system tf. facility, can assist with the Strategic Management of your property portfolio in accordance with the DCLM.
As a result of this success the Technology Forge intends to hold two further seminars early next year (both North and South) to include district councils country-wide. For further information on these events please contact Jenny Starr on 01943 855027 or check for announcements on our events page.
