Integrate spatial data & capabilities into your core business processes
Newer planning systems (or the latest releases of popular systems like Uniform) often allow or compel you to hold useful information externally and then access spatial data via OGC Web Services. Our Managed Integration Service (MIS) provide a stress free way to connect these systems to your Spatial Data Warehouse (SDW).
Using MIS, you can maintain key information centrally using familiar tools. Your users will be able to make faster, more informed decisions. These will drive better business outcomes. As an example, Planning Constraint information can be maintained within the SDW via regular business activities and made available to third-party systems via MIS.
Features
Seamless integrations allow systems to pull the latest info directly from your SDW.
Compatibility
MIS is compatible with popular local authority systems, such as IDOX Uniform, Arcus and Agile.
Fully managed setup
We’ll handle the entire process including installation, connectivity, configuration, testing and documentation.
Backups
Our robust backups will protect data integrity and maximise application uptime.
Maintenance
We’ll handle all updates including operating system and critical security patches.
Testing processes
Taking a critical system, such as planning, offline for a whole day for updates/testing is incompatible with users’ needs. We’ll create a testing process which minimises service disruptions.
Prioritized Support
Our dedicated support desk will help you find a swift resolution to any issues.
Benefits
MIS helps busy teams save time and money
Enhanced data integrity
MIS encourages a ‘single source of the truth’ approach to data management. This helps make duplicated data a thing of the past.
Better decision making
Users will be able to make decisions based on the latest data. This supports service improvements.
Budget
The fixed cost makes it easier to balance your budget plus you’ll eliminate the cost of training specialised personnel.
Improved security
We’ll use our expertise and monitoring systems to safeguard your environment and protect your valuable data.
Peace of mind
We’ll handle the technical aspects of the setup and ongoing updates and security patches. This leaves your team free to concentrate on core business activities.
Priority support
Having our experts on hand minimises the risk of service disruption.
REDUCE THE RISK OF DISRUPTION
Enabling Uniform users to access critical planning information
The new Uniform (Idox) upgrade path, built on the Esri stack of web services, means Uniform will no longer connect with our normal web services. This change puts local authority departments that rely on Uniform for the efficient management of regulatory services, such as planning and environmental health, at risk of disrupted service delivery.
MIS provides a sophisticated implementation which enables Uniform to connect to your SDW using OGC Web Services. As a result, decision makers in your regulatory services teams, such as planning, will have continued access to data.
