A merger of Optivo and Southern Housing Group, to form Southern Housing has created one of the top five largest Housing Associations in England, managing around 77,000 homes and serving 167,000 residents across London, the South East, the Midlands and the Isle of Wight.
Southern Housing has chosen Asprey’s AspireBI Solution to assist with the strategic management of its portfolio.
AspireBI consultants provide a self-serve asset value rationalisation, option appraisal and sustainability model to enlighten strategic decision making and cement asset value consensus across an organisation. Resulting insights into optimising investments improves efficiency of decision-making with a reliable central knowledge source.
AspireBI is supported by Asprey’s vast sector experience and finance and analytics expertise. Key to the purchase decision were the solution’s Microsoft power BI outputs that allow Southern Housing, already extensive MS BI users, to utilise Asprey’s model to support their continued business intelligence innovations.
Dritan Uka, Director of Strategic Asset Management at Southern Housing stated:
