Many councils and housing associations need to bring their housing stock up to the Government Decent Home Standard by 2010. Councils, registered social landlords and housing associations with a lot of housing stock are unlikely to achieve the task of decent homes compliance by using paper based data collection techniques - unless they use excessive numbers of surveyors!

Paper based data capture is long past its 'sell-by date' and local authorities using such out-dated data collection methods are simply wasting tax payers money.
