Hyperwave make a splash at Wakefield and District Housing
London • October 6, 2009 Hyperwave UK Ltd has announced that after a comprehensive 2+ year evaluation project and tender process, Wakefield and District Housing (WDH) has awarded it an initial 3 year contract - with an option for 4 more years - to implement its web-based corporate Electronic Document and Records Management system (EDRMS) and to integrate it fully with its other business systems.
WDH is one of the UK’s largest Registered Social Landlords, managing over 31,000 properties and employing over 1,400 people. It is one of only a handful of housing associations in England that have been awarded the prestigious ‘3 star with excellent prospects for improvement’ assessment rating by the Audit Commission. With a strong reputation and a very large number of stakeholders to support, WDH is always looking to increase efficiencies whilst ensuring the quality of services it offers its customers is improved.
WDH’s ICT Service Director, Paul Wood, said: “Our main aim is to ensure that access to our services is easy and convenient for our customers, providing high availability local services in all geographical areas. After investigating many solutions, Hyperwave has shown it can deliver a highly capable solution which will meet and exceed our requirements. We are confident that we have selected the best EDRMS/ECM solution available and that Hyperwave and its technology platform will enable us to achieve our objectives and much more besides. We are looking forward to a long and successful working relationship with Hyperwave”.
Hyperwave is proud to have been awarded this contract after such a detailed study of the capabilities of our technology – much of which is attributable to our highly usable and likeable user interface and the rich functionality available, together with the ability of our people to deliver them. We are very much looking forward to helping Wakefield and District Housing progress to even greater heights as a business from reaping the vast benefits now available to them via the Hyperwave ECM platform.
