Middlesbrough Council's Property and Commercial Services team successfully migrated its asset management system to Civica Property Management, a cloud-based solution. The team worked closely with Civica to customize the system to meet their evolving needs. The migration took a year to complete, with a major data cleanse and testing phase to ensure a smooth transition. The new system empowers building managers and maintenance teams with up-to-date and easily accessible information on properties and work schedules. Key benefits include:

Easier asset management and reduced risk
Improved mobile working capabilities
Enhanced collaboration and communication between teams
Increased efficiency and reduced waste
Better compliance and risk management, particularly in highly regulated areas like asbestos
Minimal disruption during the Covid-19 pandemic

The Council's Logistics and Compliance Manager, Lindsey Bell, notes that the new system "empowers building managers to take control of what's happening" and has "switched off a lot of waste in resources." The Project Manager, Victoria Sturdy, advises that taking the time to get the data right and ensure functionality is crucial for a successful migration.
