Geospatial data management company 1Spatial has signed a contract with Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) to maintain the organisation’s entire national database.
OSi has established its PRIME2 data strategy, to ensure the country has quality-assured and up-to-date spatial datasets representing the natural and built environments. 1Spatial will deliver the data management infrastructure for PRIME2, guaranteeing efficient data maintenance, integrity and quality assurance. It will also provide the foundation for a modern spatial data infrastructure (SDI) and allow departments and agencies to integrate their data.
Marcus Hanke, chief executive at 1Spatial (pictured), said: "In order to fully support national and local government decision-making, OSi needed to be entirely confident in the quality of its data. The solution needed to serve the current geospatial data management business needs, integrate seamlessly with existing OSi systems and also provide a platform for growth
"This deal builds on the two organisation’s already established relationships. 1Spatial’s management suite will give OSi a scalable and flexible geospatial management platform that can readily accommodate increases in required throughput or process complexity and act as a foundation to support future organisational growth."
Colin Bray, OSi chief survey officer, said: "The PRIME2 programme is the most significant revision to OSi’s data management and product management process in over 30 years. The delivery of the PRIME2 real-world feature database and the implementation of the 1Spatial Management Suite will allow OSi to advance its role as the authoritative source of national spatial data and provider of data services."
