Data In-House Implementation Services

Our consultants are skilled in implementing large GIS datasets within an in-house database environment, including all the most commonly used databases such as Oracle and SQL Server. Typically, many installations do not have an in-house geographic capability, and are therefore not always aware of the issues involved in loading and migrating large geographic datasets.

The following gives a very brief overview of our capabilities in in-house implementation services. By their nature, projects are client-specific: we are happy to discuss your requirements further.

Data Loading & Replication

We are experienced in the replication and loading of large data sets into an enterprise GIS.

Major projects undertaken include:

• ESRI (UK) have downloaded the entire U.K. 2001 Census onto an Oracle server. We can supply extracts of part or all of it and supply in another format, e.g. SQL Server
• A major batch loading of vector shapefile data into an SDE database for a client

Data Migration

You may have several geographic datasets residing in different systems, or a major geographic dataset in a legacy system, which you require to be migrated into a new environment. We can perform the in-house migration of such datasets, understanding the potential pitfalls using data from differing sources and geographical projections.
