ATRIUMproperty at Cheshire - a Case Study. (Page 1 of 2)

Cheshire County Council have been successfully using the ATRIUMproperty Contracts, Projects and Condition Survey,(previously Forward Maintenance) modules since 1998.

In 2004 they implemented the web based version of ATRIUM property (7i) and the following year saw the implementation of OracleAS Portal in conjunction with ATRIUM.

In December 2007, a decision was taken to split the Council into two unitary authorities and from April 2009 two new unitary Councils - Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester will take over all the service responsibilities of Cheshire Council and the six District Councils. The district councils of Ellesmere Port and Neston, Chester and Vale Royal along with Cheshire County Council’s services will form Cheshire West and Chester. In the east, the district councils of Crewe and Nantwich, Congleton and Macclesfield along with Cheshire County Council's services will form Cheshire East.

As a result of this decision, there is a requirement to split the data currently held in a single Cheshire County Council ATRIUMproperty database between the 2 new unitary authorities and create two separate databases for East and West. As part of this process, it has been proposed that the new unitary authorities use this process as an opportunity to re-define the way that the property portfolio is structured within the ATRIUMproperty database. .
