Beyond Digital Mapping

Most public safety agencies currently use what could be considered “digital mapping” i.e. it is a standalone software application which can display a digital version of Ordnance Survey maps and allows simple information to be plotted on the top of the map. This technology is most commonly used in control rooms and for elementary incident mapping (“pin-maps” or hotspots maps).

ESRI (UK)’s GIS technology goes much further than digital mapping, as it provides a strategic platform to collect, combine, visualise, analyse, and share information. Our objective is that this enhanced use of geographic information will enable public safety organisations to become more joined up in their use of data, turning more of their information into actionable intelligence that can be seen and shared.
