HOUSTON, TX, January 15, 2009 – R7 Solutions announced today that the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) had renewed its application licensing and hosting agreement for a 6th year, as well as moving towards greater business process management integration.

Meeting with METRO’s real estate department and environmental  engineering department, R7 Solutions has begun a program to integrate  the current GeoRoom application into the organization’s overall land  management program, as well as integrate with environmental remediation  and long-term facilities and improvements management.

“GeoRoom allows organizations like METRO to bring a coherent, cross-departmental approach to the problem of process and critical data isolation,” said K. Lawrence Epperson, CEO of R7 Solutions.

“By providing integrated, web-based geospatial searching, document and form reference, and bringing a specific set of business goals to the data management process, METRO is able to align the agenda throughout its organization and achieve both better results and great cost savings,” said Epperson.

GeoRoom as implemented for METRO provides access to parcel ownership, municipal utility district and school district boundaries, floodplains, market research, and aerial photography. GeoRoom users can record notes, annotate locations, develop complex projects around locations and areas, and all information can be shared with other users with a built-in access and security management system.
