RETURN ON INVESTMENT

At Deighton, we implement solutions based on your organization’s existing infrastructure asset management philosophies. Experience has shown us that you cannot develop a standard infrastructure asset management system which will be applicable to every organization. While some fundamental core methodologies are common across most organizations, the overall approach to asset management can be quite different between organizations, districts, towns or states.

The solution you choose to implement must be customizable in order to support your current and long-term objectives, and flexible enough so that implementation will not affect organizational efficiency or result in a costly software rewrite each time you want to incorporate a new asset type. Implementing full asset management systems, such as dTIMS CT, will result in significant savings across your agency or department. When we recently surveyed a cross-section of our North American users*, we learned:

• As much as 25% of your analysis time could be saved using dTIMS CT. Departmental efficiency managing your assets could be increased by 25% or more.

• 87% of our clients chose Deighton to provide their asset management solution based on dTIMS CT’s powerful analysis capabilities and Deighton’s ability to continually deliver cutting edge solutions.

• Based on annual budget amounts our users were allocated by department officials for maintaining their roads, analysis performed by dTIMS CT determined that 72% of our users were not getting enough money to maintain their roads at the current condition. Through our powerful reports these same clients are now able to justify their budget increase requests with upper management to support their growing infrastructure demand.

• Because dTIMS CT is a flexible framework supporting virtually any number of assets, 90% of our users intend to incorporate other assets (such as bridges, sub-surface utilities, safety, mobility or signs) into their existing dTIMS CT solution within the next twelve months. This additional functionality is already available within dTIMS CT and does not require any software re-writes or major modifications.

If you would like to learn more about our solutions, the value they can bring to your agency and how they could be implemented, please do not hesitate to contact our sales department.
