Corporate Spatial
Data Management
Organisations
operating in the real world, such as Police Forces, need
to maintain information about it.
Imass provides the tools to enable a Force to get
the best value from its data management resource effort.
Importantly, Imass also provides the implementation and
integration skills and services, which will enable the
Force to gain maximum value from procuring Imass products.
Business
applications rely on accurate data, 80% of which relates
to location. This spatial data is key to building an
integrated Police operation and extending this to include
the wider Criminal Justice community. Hence the need
for Geographical Information Systems to be an essential
component of IT strategies for distributed businesses.
Spatial
data is best used against a mapping background. Map
management should be focused so that updates are logged,
versioned, translated, archived and distributed
painlessly. Map choice (scales and types), will vary
according to users operational needs. Effective map
management provides the basis for effective GIS.
Imass
Central Management System (CMS) is a second generation
product developed by Imass to satisfy the need for more
efficient management and referencing of spatially related
data utilised in support of a range of existing Force
systems. The product has been built with due regard
to the knowledge and experience gained from client usage
of its first generation product “Landmark”.
