According to Envista, the R2 2010 further extends and enhances the solution’s functionalities.

In the release, the company explained that these new products and features have been added in response to customer input.
“This new software release is a great example of how the team at Envista listens to its customers and responds with the functionality they need to save time and money. Municipalities, utilities, universities and other entities that manage activities in the right-of-way have found that the value of Envista Smarter Streets increases as additional types of activities and more detailed information are incorporated into our map-based environment. In many cases, our customers will identify a need and work with us to make it part of the Envista solution suite. We are very pleased to showcase the results of this collaborative process in Release R2 2010,” Senior VP of sales and marketing, Brad Steer, said in a statement.
The company said that any of the new products included in Envista R2 2010 can be added to existing Smarter Streets subscriptions, purchased individually, or bundled to meet the specific needs of a particular entity. The new features included in this release are now part of all Smarter Streets solutions at no additional charge.
