Managed Integration Service

Integrate spatial data & capabilities into your core business processes

Newer planning systems (or the latest releases of popular systems like Uniform) often allow or compel you to hold useful information externally and then access spatial data via OGC Web Services. Our Managed Integration Service (MIS) provide a stress free way to connect these systems to your Spatial Data Warehouse (SDW).

Using MIS, you can maintain key information centrally using familiar tools. Your users will be able to make faster, more informed decisions. These will drive better business outcomes. As an example, Planning Constraint information can be maintained within the SDW via regular business activities and made available to third-party systems via MIS.

Features

Seamless integrations allow systems to pull the latest info directly from your SDW.

Compatibility

MIS is compatible with popular local authority systems, such as IDOX Uniform, Arcus and Agile.

 

Fully managed setup

We’ll handle the entire process including installation, connectivity, configuration, testing and documentation.

 

Backups

Our robust backups will protect data integrity and maximise application uptime.

 

Maintenance

We’ll handle all updates including operating system and critical security patches.

 

Testing processes

Taking a critical system, such as planning, offline for a whole day for updates/testing is incompatible with users’ needs. We’ll create a testing process which minimises service disruptions.

 

Prioritized Support

Our dedicated support desk will help you find a swift resolution to any issues.

Benefits

MIS helps busy teams save time and money

Enhanced data integrity

MIS encourages a ‘single source of the truth’ approach to data management. This helps make duplicated data a thing of the past.

Better decision making

Users will be able to make decisions based on the latest data. This supports service improvements.

Budget

The fixed cost makes it easier to balance your budget plus you’ll eliminate the cost of training specialised personnel.

Improved security

We’ll use our expertise and monitoring systems to safeguard your environment and protect your valuable data.

Peace of mind

We’ll handle the technical aspects of the setup and ongoing updates and security patches. This leaves your team free to concentrate on core business activities.

Priority support

Having our experts on hand minimises the risk of service disruption.

REDUCE THE RISK OF DISRUPTION

Enabling Uniform users to access critical planning information

The new Uniform (Idox) upgrade path, built on the Esri stack of web services, means Uniform will no longer connect with our normal web services. This change puts local authority departments that rely on Uniform for the efficient management of regulatory services, such as planning and environmental health, at risk of disrupted service delivery.

MIS provides a sophisticated implementation which enables Uniform to connect to your SDW using OGC Web Services. As a result, decision makers in your regulatory services teams, such as planning, will have continued access to data.
