TENET MapRite is chosen to improve the Spatial Data of the UK’s Leading Native Woodland Conservation Charity

TENET MapRite has been purchased to improve and maintain the accuracy of The Woodland Trust’s spatial data, following the introduction of the PAI program by the Ordnance Survey.

The Woodland Trust spatial datasets are spread over 1100 sites throughout the UK, this presents an interesting challenge when it comes to managing the data, something that the GIS team have been doing for the past eight years.

The Trust will be employing TENET MapRite to process both real world and PAI change in the extensive datasets that cover legal ownership and day to day site management; from site risk assessments to footpaths. It is vital that these datasets remain as accurate as possible as they are used extensively inside and outside of the organisation to further the aims of conserving and enhancing sites of national and international importance.

Ian White, GIS Manager at The Woodland Trust commented, “Purchasing MapRite was the clear and obvious solution after evaluating a number of mechanisms to complete our PAI update process. We have good quality data and wanted to make sure that this remained the case after processing it for PAI. MapRite was the only solution that gave us the tools required to guarantee this and indeed improve it.

We are also in the process of implementing OS MasterMap and trying to manage the real world change associated with it, MapRite will inevitably be part of such a process. Working with TENET through this initial phase has been extremely positive and we look forward to continuing this relationship in the future.”

TENET MapRite remains the market-leading PAI solution and has been shown to provide a robust, scalable solution with the lowest cost of ownership for Positional Accuracy Improvement customers.
