SURREY, ENGLAND, November 01, 2012
/24-7PressRelease/ -- After dominating the 2011 Exemplar Awards, users of the Aligned Assets gazetteer management system have received countless accolades at the 2012 Awards.
At a ceremony in London to recognise outstanding achievement in the use of local authority address and street gazetteer data, Aligned Assets customers won four out of the six major awards, including London Borough of Harrow being announced the winner of the Overall Exemplar Award.
The London Borough of Harrow had earlier in the day won the Integration Award for their innovative project that saw the use of gazetteer data significantly increased across the authority. In a vote by all 320 delegates, it was this project that was considered to have achieved the most in terms of gazetteer usage and so awarded the top prize.
Other victories included Worthing and Adur Councils who won the Best Example of Street Naming and Numbering Policy Implementation Award, Bath and North East Somerset Council who won the Services Award and Inverclyde Council who were Highly Commended in the Scottish Gazetteer Custodian of the Year category.
The London Borough of Enfield was Highly Commended for Street Naming and Numbering Policy and was also recognised as Best in Region for both Address and Street data. In addition to Enfield, Aligned Assets customers won a further six Best in Region Awards and a total of 34 were given Gold Awards for either their address or street updating.
"All of us at Aligned Assets are delighted for those customers whose hard work and dedication over the past twelve months has been formally recognised," said Managing Director of Aligned Assets Andy Hird. "Although we would acknowledge that having great software helps, it really is down to the people using that software to make the difference."
The Exemplar Awards took place during the 'Everything Happens Somewhere Conference', which was organised by GeoPlace and held on 25th October at Friends House in London.
