THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT ACT (TMA)

Some companies estimate that the cost of non-compliance with the new rules encompassed in the TMA could be as high as £1 million for every 1% on non-compliance. In order to circumvent the potentially significant financial and operational implications of this legislation, your organisation must ask itself a number of questions about the business processes, systems, business units and staff affected, and will need to think about the implications for financial planning, risk management and training.

Assessing the impact is only one aspect. Determining the implementation plan, resources and priorities based on this assessment, presents more challenges, particularly with the multi-stakeholder dimension of the TMA. ABeam can help your organisation respond proactively to the TMA.

POLICE MOBILE DATA AND WORKING

With significant pressure on Police Forces to increase visibility and get more officers out on the beat, mobile two-way access to mission-critical data has become more important than ever. Designing mobile solutions around the user rather than the technology is essential. ABeam's User and Task Centric, Requirements-First approach is cheaper and more likely to be effective than premature investment in technical solutions.

The ABeam approach to developing mobile solutions for the Police is based on its experience not just with the Police, but also with field force automation for the utilities, retail and parts of the public sector. The key attributes of the approach are that it is User and Task Centric, and that where there are a wide variety of operational units for which mobile solutions might be useful; it quickly identifies those in which use of mobile solutions will provide the most benefit to the business.

Using ABeam's clear approach, experience and project management skills, the Police can ensure not only that they are spending their budgets well, but that the eventual solution will meet the needs of both officers and the public.
