1Spatial launches big spatial data management tool

By on 13 November, 2012
Geospatial company 1Spatial has released an enhanced 1Spatial Management Suite, which includes Workflow, Plan, Maintain, Publish and 1Spatial Cloud. The software is aimed at public and private companies that handle high volumes of business-critical spatial data, on-premise or in the cloud.
 
Marcus Hanke, chief executive at 1Spatial explains: “The rise and impact of big data in the geospatial sector has created new challenges. Organisations need to be sure that they are basing their decisions on accurate and reliable data, but managing constantly changing, location information has become a huge concern. By moving some of our services into the cloud, our clients can choose whether to validate and maintain their data on site or in our secure cloud.”
 
1Spatial’s big data validation and maintenance tools were developed in response to the complexities of working with large amounts of spatial data and improving outcomes. The company already provides the foundations for data management and processing solutions around the world. 1Spatial uses a data-centric approach to provide speedy implementation with broad and easy-to-use access to that data.
 
Roscommon County Council GIS officer Barry Doyle explains: "The 1Spatial Cloud platform proved a very useful, time-saving tool. We believe that the service can save councils like us many man-months of work. We found the various rule checks identified issues that wouldn't have otherwise been identified, no matter how much time was spent manually checking the data. Additionally, the facility to automatically correct the data, by eliminating geometric and connectivity issues, while also re-aligning the road segments and road nodes with the line work, proved very valuable and ensures we have a database that is now fit-for-purpose."
 
1Spatial works with national mapping and charting agencies, utilities companies, defence and government departments, where maintaining the quality of data that needs frequent updating is an ongoing issue. Once the data has been captured by field surveyors or in-house editors, 1Spatial validates it by checking against hundreds of pre-established rules. Any failures can be manually or automatically resolved so the quality and integrity of the database is maintained. This data-centric approach provides speedy implementation with broad and easy-to-use access to that data.
 
For example, organisations can use 1Spatial’s processes to find their missing data. 1Spatial is able to automatically compare intelligent source data with existing assets to predict the location of missing assets. When utilities’ engineers arrive to dig up the ground, they are now more likely to be looking in the right place.
