## Reviews

### "Formation Software - DIS" — 5.0/5

> **Matthew** | *10 August 2016* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> DIS chose to implement the Professional version of Formation Software. Initially, it was used by Technical Consultants to improve the processing of Technical Site Surveys. Subsequently, Formation has been rolled out to the other areas of the business.  Utilising the power and flexibility of Formation Software, DIS achieved a return on their investment within a matter of months. The levels of savings generated for DIS has been demonstrated as Formation has been deployed into other areas of the business.

Following the success of our initial pilot, Formation Software is now also being used by DIS engineers. Lead Engineers can now access site plans and photos on a tablet, which puts the information they need for each job at their fingertips. It allows them to take photographs on device as proof that procedures have been followed correctly. The e-signature tool is a fantastic benefit to enable customer consent to be gathered on device. Completed jobs are passed instantly to the back office system so that DIS accounts team can process the data much more quickly.

> **Jim** | *7 June 2016*
