| Local Government Authorities Increasingly Turning to Location Intelligence Solutions Local Government Authorities are increasingly turning to Location Intelligence solutions for emergency contingency planning, public health initiatives and compliance directives, according to Pitney Bowes Business Insight (PBBI), the global provider of Location Intelligence, Data Management and Customer Communication Management solutions. As the democratisation of data drives the focus on new, on-demand delivery channels for public services, such as the government's G-Cloud, Location Intelligence will play an ever more central role in local government planning and innovation. These were the conclusions of more than 70 delegates from local government authorities attending the meeting of the independent MapInfo User Group UK & Ireland (MUGUKI), which gathered in Bristol last month. The independent user group events are designed to share the knowledge and experiences of new and longstanding users of Pitney Bowes MapInfo Professional, Pitney Bowes MapBasic, Pitney Bowes MapXtreme and other flagship technologies from the Pitney Bowes Business Insight location intelligence solutions portfolio. Providing critical context to the proceedings, guest speakers at the Bristol forum presented real-world insight into addressing public health, emergency planning and compliance directives, with presentations on Swine Flu mapping from Avon IM&T Consortium, Flood Risk Management from engineering consultants, Mouchel, and a case study on Sustainability Index from Liverpool City Council, among others. PBBI plans to make Cloud Computing / Software-as-a-Service delivery standard for all new products. The company will be launching on-demand services, including major market innovations such as Data-as-a-Service in 2010, providing the definitive, cost effective infrastructure to delivering online public services. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
