City of Houston revolutionizes pavement condition data collection with new automated, mobile vehicle and software solution
The City of Houston Public Works Department has taken a big step forward in its asset condition data collection program by investing in an automated solution delivered by Idea. The solution includes a van, lasers, a 360-degree immersive video camera, data storage, GPS, automatic crack detection, pavement scoring algorithms, and a web-based viewer to analyze, share, and report on the data collected. Previously, the City used manual and windshield surveys to collect subjective information and stored that data on unwieldy Excel spreadsheets. Idea’s new solution has been in production for a year and has resulted in a good return on investment for the City, which can now collect data objectively and at a much faster rate. They do not have to hire outside vendors to drive their streets.

Bank market outsourcing clients demanded that these services truly provide value in terms of service quality, managing costs and enhanced end customer offerings. The client also wanted to comply with banking regulatory guidance, which recommended that all outsourcing contracts should include performance benchmarks that define minimum service-level requirements. A program was created that provided meaningful performance benchmarks, minimum service requirements and the appropriate tools and information to monitor and manage business results.
Developing a Sales and Marketing System for a Global Investment Banking Services Provider
Our client's private banking division only worked with what they deemed "major customers." Thus, there was a need to generate a prospect base of such individuals and business houses. The division also felt a need to manage the relationships between customers and their contacts in a tree format. Other important needs involved managing marketing events, analyzing customers and providing security to the complete system. We developed various modules to serve up the requirements of the sales and marketing departments. The system had a prospect database maintenance module, event management module and information on balance of accounts.
