“Making eSpatial OnDemand GIS more widely available through a network of strategic international partners is a key priority for us this year,” says eSpatial’s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Colm Mulcahy.

eSpatial expands strategic partnership programme to encompass management consulting companies

11 January 2012  Dublin, Ireland - eSpatial, leading provider of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and pioneer in GIS delivered via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), has begun to seek strategic partnerships with other companies in the UK, North American and Australasian markets.

With growing demand for SaaS-based data mapping software in the business market, the company has decided to expand its partnering programme to accommodate the high levels of interest expressed by management consultancy firms.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the level of interest that members of the wider business community have shown in our SaaS-based data mapping software, eSpatial OnDemand GIS™,” says eSpatial’s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Colm Mulcahy.

“By forming strategic partnerships with management consultancies, we hope to be able to satisfy the market demand, which will only continue to increase.”

While a relatively new approach to data analysis in the wider business world, data mapping – often referred to as GIS or geospatial analysis – is a respected discipline in a range of sectors such as urban planning, telecommunications and utilities.

While the technology previously required significant investment in infrastructure, the advent of SaaS-based data mapping software has made the same, robust capabilities available to any organisation at less than a fraction of the price.

With a solid background in producing data mapping software for experts, eSpatial is one of the pioneers who made the leap to SaaS delivery – and has already begun to reap the rewards.

“It’s exciting to see the high levels of interest shown in eSpatial OnDemand GIS,” says Mulcahy.

“The variety of sectors has been fascinating – everyone from sales and marketing companies, to retailers, to waste management companies have been in touch to learn how data mapping can help their business.”

While management consultants have traditionally provided advice and solutions to their clients, they have been unable to provide data mapping capabilities to anyone other than their largest clients, due to the complex setup and substantial budgets involved.

By partnering with eSpatial, consultants will have the opportunity to introduce their clients to data mapping – and a cost-effective, efficient means of data analysis.

“The rapidly growing interest in business data mapping we’ve encountered is only a drop in the bucket – we anticipate huge growth in the future,” says Mulcahy.

“Management consultants who partner with us have the opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and introduce their clients to cutting-edge technology, while simultaneously maximising their own revenue stream.”

With a host of benefits and expert advice and support on offer, the company is confident that its programme will provide partners with a unique business opportunity.

eSpatial Customer Brings Online Mapping Solution to Constituents, Increasing Accessibility of Local Information

29 November 2011 - Croydon Council, one of the largest boroughs in London, has leveraged eSpatial OnDemand GIS™ to develop a new online map to help its constituents to find information about the area in which they live.

The application, “About Your Area” (AYA), enables constituents and interested parties to view an interactive map of the local area, and to select and view the locations of services and amenities, such as local schools, bus stops, recycling centres and libraries.

Launched in August of this year, AYA is available at: http://www.croydon.gov.uk/aya

AYA also allows users to set a home address, and perform searches for places and services located nearest to their home. Once a home address is set, the application can also produce a brief summary for the location, listing the local councillor, local MP, council tax band, rubbish and recycling collections, as well as the nearest school, library and park.

More than 600 individual amenities are already in the system, with more to come. The 27 services currently listed are grouped into 5 themes:

-          Civic & Amenities

-          Health and Emergencies

-          Education

-          Leisure and Transport

“Our aim is to deliver an outstanding online experience to our residents,” says Croydon’s E-Communications Manager, Daniel Sweeting.  “A key part of this is location-based information – allowing people to find the services nearest or relevant to them. About Your Area provides a scalable solution that delivers this information.”

With geospatial data and analysis forming an important part of its remit, Croydon Council already uses eSpatial OnDemand GIS as an internal mapping tool. Deciding to leverage the same platform and information to keep their constituents informed has enabled the council to achieve a key organisational objective in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

“We are delighted to continue to add value to Croydon Council’s use of our GIS software through the development and delivery of the “About Your Area” mapping service,” says eSpatial CTO Eamon Walsh.

“We applaud Croydon Council’s commitment to making information available to their constituents. It has been exciting to be involved in a project that delivers such value for the general public.”
