RM will provide sales, implementation, training, and ASP web hosting services for VUEWorks(r) GIS-integrated asset management solutions to municipal and utility clients throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
"Our partnership with VUEWorks expands our ability to take municipalities and utilities to a new level for managing their infrastructure, while carefully expending limited funds in the most cost-effective manner," stated William Mielke, CEO & President of Ruekert/Mielke, Inc. "In most cases, our country is utilizing our first generation of infrastructure, which is wearing out and needs to be managed, repaired or replaced in order to provide the public services we have grown to expect. We are excited about the opportunity to play a major role in helping communities undertake this vitally important task."
"Implementing and utilizing VUEWorks software for asset management purposes is a natural progression and extension of the GIS services our firm has been providing to our municipal clients over the last 20 years," said Thomas Tym, Principal and primary contact for Ruekert/Mielke's Technology Services Department. "Recognizing the level of trust our clients have in our technical expertise and recommendations, our careful evaluation and decision to join the VUEWorks team says a lot about their capabilities and commitment to client satisfaction."
"When Ruekert/Mielke approached us it didn't take long to realize we had a vision match," commented Rod Lovely, VUEWorks' Vice President of Product Management. "As the established leader in the upper Midwest for both GIS, and municipal economics and planning, they were seeking a tool to tie these services together with asset management. We are excited because VUEWorks enables Ruekert/Mielke to offer cost-effective asset management solutions that leverage existing municipal investments in GIS. They are also our first partner to offer VUEWorks as an ASP-hosted model, making asset management affordable for smaller organizations."
