Coactiva today announced that HouseMark has agreed to participate in a pilot program for their data analytics service. The service uses intelligent data modelling and analytical techniques to unlock intelligence and valuable insight from large amounts of data.
HouseMark is the primary supplier of membership-based benchmarking services to the UK social housing sector. They are jointly owned by Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and the National Housing Federation (NHF) and their benchmarking services help organisations to improve performance and achieve value for money.
HouseMark currently has more than 840 members made up of Housing Associations, Arms Length Management Organisations (ALMO’s) and Local Authorities. Their members provide data on an annual basis feeding their benchmarking system. They are headquartered at Coventry University and employ over 40 staff.
Chief Executive Officer of HouseMark Ross Fraser said, “We have recently engaged coactiva intercept to help us undertake statistical analysis of the data we collect from our members. We want to deploy statistical analysis as an added value service in a manner that generates business intelligence for our members and helps to inform the policy debate. We believe that coactiva's input will add significant value to our capability in this area.”
Ray Fielding, CEO of Coactiva Group commented: ‘We are looking forward to this pilot engagement and hope it is the first of many as coactiva and HouseMark continue to forge a strong relationship for the future.”
Following the acquisition of Aspiren (Company number: 4152031) by SunGard in 2007, the Aspiren business traded as a separate legal entity within the SunGard group until December 2009, at which point it was merged into SunGard Public Sector and traded as a separate business unit under SunGard Public Sector until November 2010. In November 2010 the Aspiren business was acquired by coactiva and the business resumed trading as a separate entity under coactiva ownership.
