BEVERLY, Mass., Nov. 3, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Envista Corporation, a provider
of web-based software for infrastructure project coordination, today announced
the District of Columbia is deploying Envista's map-driven application. The
District of Columbia will use the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application to
coordinate hundreds of roadway and utility construction and maintenance projects
to be performed in public right of way. The District Department of
Transportation (DDOT) manages 1,157 lane miles of roads in the nation's capital.

According to Gabe Klein, Director of DDOT, "The District is committed to
improving street conditions and traffic congestion, and those goals rely on
better coordination of projects in the right of way. Envista technology helps
improve coordination with utilities because it offers the real-time exchange of
planning information, which benefits all participants."

Envista will enable coordination between the District's various departments and
utility companies to optimize the construction planning process, reduce street
cuts in newly paved roads, and save on paving costs. More District area
organizations are expected to adopt Envista in the near term to take advantage
of the project planning information.
