Online Asset Management and Spatial Applications
Tonkin Consulting has been synonymous with Asset Management and Spatial Information Solutions for more than a decade in South Australia. We now offer our web-based Managed Service for both asset management and spatial applications.
The Issues
A key issue facing all organisations is the increasing requirement for comprehensive understanding and management of current infrastructure assets, and planning for future maintenance and new capital works. Reliable information is a critical basis for decisions on future capital expenditure.
Legislation has highlighted the need to access relevant information about current assets and infrastructure, and report in detail to the community and stakeholders.
In addition, staff turnover, loss of “corporate memory” and continued skills shortage, makes the task time-consuming and, at times inadequate.
The capital investment required to manage assets in-house continues to increase, with ongoing hardware and software requirements.
Data security is also a major issue for organisations, with the added component of a comprehensive disaster recovery program adding to on-costs and overall investment needed for state-of-the-art asset management systems.
The Solution
Our web-based Managed Service allows remote and secure access to your data, via an internet-connected PC or device. You can work from head office or anywhere in the field – as long as there is a reliable internet access connection. We can provide access to an array of applications that will run seamlessly within your organisation, but in fact, will be hosted and managed at Tonkin Consulting.
Data security is based on industry standards. A combination of RSA 2-factor authentication, SSL certificates and a Citrix/Secure Gateway provide a secure environment for your organisation to access data.
Arrangements can be made for access and operation of your data during office hours only, or for any additional hours you may require. The Tonkin Spatial team will put together a software and services package to suite your requirements based on your needs.
Our Managed Service is maintained and managed by experienced engineers and spatial technicians who are able to provide valuable and concise information for your reporting purposes. Tonkin Consulting is responsible for the integrity and security of your data.
The Benefits
By taking advantage of our Managed Service, you will have access not only to your data, but also to a number of specialists at Tonkin Consulting who can provide strategic advice about your data and overall asset management.
Your data is secure, stored locally in South Australia and managed by professionals. Connection is secure – whether from the metro area or country region.
Staff turnover and skills base is no longer a critical issue for your organisation in managing your data.
The ongoing financial resources required to manage your data is greatly reduced without the need for in-house hardware, software and technical personnel.
