Antrim company seals deal with HM Land Registry
AN Antrim company has secured a major contract with HM Land Registry to help manage the risks associated with £4trn portfolio of land and property assets across England and Wales.
Decision Time, based on the Kilbegs Road, is headed by Geoff Higgins.
He said the company had won despite competition from well-established software firms.
Formerly known as Solutionz,
the company was set up 15 years ago to help organisations make better decisions by holding effective meetings, managing risk and monitoring progress. Rebranded earlier this year, the company works across the public, private and not for profit sectors, with specific focus on health, central and local government, education, housing, IT, financial services and utilities.
“We have been entrusted by one of Great Britain’s largest non-ministerial government departments to provide the risk-management solution for property and land ownership across England and Wales,” said Mr Higgins.
“This is a testament not only to the quality of our software developers but also to the ability of our team to understand and resolve challenges in risk management.
“The risks associated with the management of a £4trn land and property portfolio are both complicated and diverse and include everything from legal risk and GDPR compliance to fraud and continuity of service.
“Data integrity is also a crucial issue as the records show legal ownership of land and property, ownership that underpins a huge element of our economy.”
Mr Higgins said the Antrim company’s products are now installed in more than 170 organisations across the UK and Ireland.
“Boards and senior management teams everywhere are under more intense pressure than ever before to demonstrate sound governance and control. Decision Time is helping introduce improved control and understanding of risk and corporate and personal responsibility.”
