Document management and CAD reseller MD Technology and vendor Avanquest are working together to provide solutions for the estate management and property sector.

Mike Rae, sales director at Avanquest, said it was targeting sales to local authorities, NHS trusts, government departments, housing associations, universities and the like.

“It is a combination of a reseller with expertise in a particular market with the specialisation we provide with our document management,” Rae said. “It has taken a problem that exists in estate departments and made an easy-to-use application that allows people to retrieve documents.”

Many organisations want a central, searchable information repository, he said. Bath University has bought the modular estates management system, following deployments for the Open University and Southampton General Hospital.

The application identifies the estate department’s buildings within a particular district and can bring up all the documents associated with those particular buildings, said Rae.

Maurice Franks, managing director at MD Technology, said its expertise in the estates and property sector, coupled with Avanquest’s portfolio of document management and process automation offerings, should represent efficiency and cost-savings for the “complex and demanding” estate management sector.

“Working with Avanquest provides our clients with the best solutions available,” said Franks.
