eMapSite, leading provider of geo-data and location intelligence services to professionals, is celebrating winning the Ordnance Survey Partner Award for the Most Innovative Service 2007-08.
The award was presented in recognition of eMapSite’s pioneering levels of technological innovation and service delivery, responding to industry’s increasing need to realise the value of location intelligence. The challenge has been to harness the wealth of location related information and deliver it into organisations in a meaningful and relatively simple form.
Ordnance Survey mapping provides the required base to which eMapSite adds other geo-content that impacts on location (aerial photography, height data, historic data to name a very few) to create a powerful data stack. This wealth of data is then hosted and managed directly and seamlessly into bespoke applications, developed by channel partners or by clients, adding significant value to the raw data.
“We’re delighted to have won this award in particular,” comments eMapSite CEO, James Cutler. “Our focus has always been on developing innovative, high performance solutions that bring operational and productivity gains to our clients. This award recognises our achievements in this area. Our close working relationship with both our customers and the OS is key to our success, and it is thanks in no small part to them that we have been able to develop a managed service which delivers practical and realistic solutions to businesses needing to realise the potential of location intelligence.”

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
