United States of America (Press Release) November 19, 2007 --
STAFFORD, TEXAS (November 19, 2007) – Contract Land Staff’s (CLS) Virtual Right of Way™ is the right of way industry’s first completely outsourced solution for right of way operations, integrity work, and land records management. CLS’s Virtual Right of Way™ combines web-enabled software solutions, a vast array of services, and a team of experienced land consultants that operate remotely as an in-house right of way department.
Virtual Right of Way™ is designed for companies that have downsized staff or who do not have the in-house capabilities to handle large projects. Through Virtual Right of Way™, CLS can manage a client’s entire cache of land records – including surveys, reports, field agent notes, landowner requests, etc. Land records and all relevant right of way project information are scanned and placed into one of CLS’s proprietary land records management databases - PowerTrak or GIS enabled CLSLiNK – or a database of the client’s choosing.
Once input into the shared, secured server, Virtual Right of Way™ offers instant Internet access to land documents through a virtual Windows desktop with full MS Office Productivity Suite. Virtual Right of Way™ also includes a host of reporting tools for document production (easements, subordination, settlement agreements, survey permits, etc.) and project review.
CLS’s Virtual Right of Way™ team manages the client’s land records through PowerTrak or CLSLiNK, providing efficient project management associated with daily operations, operational maintenance on Right of Way identification of encumbrances, pipeline integrity support, DOT notification compliance, draft accounting and more.
“Virtual Right of Way™ puts state-of-the-art software solutions in the hands of an experienced right of way team. Because there is no learning curve to be overcome, our client’s right of way projects run smoothly and efficiently. Operating remotely, CLS’s Virtual Right of Way™ exponentially expands a company’s in-house capabilities, essentially turning a one-person department into a team of hundreds of trained professionals,” said Laurie Markoe, President and COO of CLS.
“What better way to streamline operations than to outsource your right of way operations to someone who specializes in doing just that? Our project managers have an average of 20+ years of experience. It would be immensely difficult for a new company to build a department as strong as ours. Virtual Right of Way™ allows our clients to leverage our expertise and get back to focusing on their core business,” said Brent Leftwich, Chairman and CEO of CLS.
CLS’s Virtual Right of Way Department™ is successfully managing thousands of miles of client assets and projects including the 1,678-mile Rockies Express (REX) project, one of the largest natural gas pipelines in North America.
