Our Team
We are JDi Solutions Ltd, a distributed team of technical and support professionals located across the UK. Combined, we have more than 60 years’ experience developing, providing and supporting digital solutions, specifically for Local Government and particularly for Planning Policy teams.
Having taken the leap over twenty years ago from undertaking consultancy services for councils to setting up JDi Solutions, our co-founder Tom Dean continues to remain at the helm of the family business as Director, supported by a longstanding high-skilled workforce.
What We Do
Over 40 Local Authorities across the UK currently benefit from our products and services.
Our core products and services include our intuitive digital planning policy consultation software OpusConsult, along with Drupal-based website development and management for corporate level and specialist service sites such as dedicated Local Plan websites. We also offer OC2Connect, an integration solution for OpusConsult that enables consultations to be run and responses managed, on a website of your choosing.
As specialists in digital tech for local authorities we help councils to make consultations more accessible and achieve better engagement; become more efficient and speed up the plan-making process; and in turn to reduce operational costs on manual tasks, helping digital consultation software to pay for itself.
JDi Solutions is an approved HM Government G-Cloud provider of OpusConsult, making light work for council procurement teams. Our product listings and straightforward pricing can be found on the Government Digital Marketplace.
Our Mission
We’re passionate about enabling communities to thrive and in this modern digital world we all find ourselves in, we are keen to play our part in making sure consultations on local and neighbourhood plans are accessible and inclusive to all residents and businesses.
We believe that every council no matter how big or small should be able to afford to digitise their planning policy consultations, giving every resident and business the opportunity to get involved. That’s why we keep our pricing structure straightforward and fitting with the challenging budgets of even the smallest of councils.
With innovation and high-quality service delivery at the forefront we are constantly evolving. We achieve this by listening to our customers, monitoring industry and regulatory developments, and exploring new emerging technologies such as AI, ensuring that we remain a leading industry provider of affordable digital solutions in our specialist field. The huge benefit of our forward-thinking approach and continuous release policy is that all customers benefit from regular software enhancements with added features and functions, and at no extra cost.
