Marishal Thompson Group, has announced its entry to the supply and implementation of multiple licences Digital mapping and geographic information systems (GIS) and – Spatial Information System software. The new software takes in-house Marishal Thompson systems and launches them for the Insurance and Housing management sectors.
MD Paul Thompson commented that one of the main reasons for opening up our systems and software to the general market was to allow clients to benefit from the increase spatial analysis and database functionality of our systems to future proof their asset management. With the iQ150 system they are getting the required level of functionality at a much more affordable cost, which means that client GIS budgets stretch further.
iQ150’s existing vector datasets can include OS MasterMap Topographic Layer base-mapping and OS MasterMap Address Layer 2 which can be stored in a PostgreSQL/PostGIS spatial database. iQ150 is then used to access this data, to map the properties and other assets associated with the property. For example, in addition to mapping the location of properties, iQ150 can also be used to map tree locations, claim incidents and management information to enable clients to direct resources to where they are most needed. In addition, it enables staff to access and to view core data such as tree management records, Preservation Orders, environmental reports and photographs relating to each of their properties.
Further benefits that clients will experience will include the ability to analyse data spatially and to examine the relationships between its properties, society and the way in which certain risk exposures are managed and allow better customer service through improved information sharing.
