CAPS Solutions:The UK's number one provider of integrated software solutions to local government

Since 1989 we have specialised in developing and supporting integrated software solutions that help the UK's local authorities deliver services relating to land, people and property.

Over 60% of local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales - a combined base of over 12,000 users - rely on our software applications to help them achieve their ambitions for citizen service and meet government efficiency and service-delivery targets.

"When we, like so many councils, are continuously being asked to transform and make efficiencies, it's important to have a product that not only allows us to be flexible but also is robust." Wayne Belle, Systems Development Manager, Torbay Council

Sustainable success

For more than 15 years we've grown in market share based on continuing service development and positive referrals from existing customers. Because we always put our users first, we have an exceptional customer retention record: our original 1989 user base is still with us today.

In June 2007, we joined IDOX plc, a quoted AIM company specialising in information and knowledge management solutions, principally for the public sector. The joining of the two companies makes the combined company the leading provider of Land and Property software and solutions in the UK local authority market.

But we have no intention of resting on our success. We are 100% committed to continuing to help local authorities transform the way they serve citizens. Meeting the evolving needs of local authorities is more than our history - it's our future.

"CAPS Solutions is a very forward-thinking company at the heart of local government solutions." Diane Fieldhouse, Searches and LLPG Team Leader, Nottingham City Council

No-one knows local government like we do

CAPS Solutions is a stable, financially strong specialist that understands the dynamic public sector landscape better than anyone - and has the solutions to match. A trusted member of the public sector community, we are proactively involved in numerous government initiatives. For example:

We were a founding sponsor of, and one of the first organisations in the UK to be accredited to, the e-Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF).

We play a key role in government working groups, helping to define standards such as BS 7666 for local land and property gazetteers.

We are a business partner of SOLACE, an essential relationship that helps us thoroughly understand the issues that affect local authorities at strategic and operational levels.
