Yotta Contract Extension

-     Yotta extends Horizons contract with Amey Plc into international markets -

-     Enables Amey to deploy Horizons at customer sites in UK, Australia, New Zealand and Spain -

      

OMG plc (LSE: OMG), the technology group providing Computer Vision products and services for the entertainment, life science, engineering industries and consumer electronics markets, announces its infrastructure asset management arm, Yotta, has won a five-year expansion of its existing contract with Amey Plc, one of the UK's leading public and regulated services providers, into international markets.

The new deal, valued at over £1.125 million, allows Amey to roll out licences for Yotta's visualised asset management solution, Horizons, to subscribers in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. This is in addition to those based in the UK where Amey has already implemented Horizons across a total of 10 projects. The service and maintenance provider will also be able to use Horizons with an additional six end customers.

Amey uses Horizons to provide differentiation when bidding for new projects, which typically include local and regional authorities and government highways agencies. Once projects are underway, it also uses the tool to showcase work done and progress achieved to stakeholders. Moving forward, Amey plans to work closely with Yotta to address specific customer needs more precisely.

 

Amey project teams will make direct use of Horizons on site as part of customer deployments. The service provider also plans to use the tool to support its Sheffield-based highways asset management hub, which is further backed by Yotta technical expertise.

Dave Brown, Associate Director at Amey Plc, said:

"Horizons helps us win long-term maintenance contracts against our competitors by enabling us to make a compelling asset management case from the outset. It also allows us to combine asset data with our own market expertise to test out different options and make informed and complex decisions quickly, which in turn drives savings in asset lifecycle planning. This expansion of our contract with Yotta provides us with continuity in terms of our overall approach to asset management, and crucially enables us to extend the many benefits we are getting into a greater range of territories."

On securing the contract extension, Nick Bolton, CEO of Oxford Metrics, commented: 

"This contract extension fulfils two important strategic objectives for Yotta - the opportunity to grow the business further internationally and to strengthen important partnerships. Amey is a world-class service provider, looking to stay agile and innovate so they can deliver the best possible service for their customers. We are delighted that Horizons is helping Amey to provide a differentiated offering and we will continue to work closely together to help optimise Horizons to meet their specific customers' needs."
