Cadcorp, the developer of the Cadcorp SIS – Spatial Information System – digital mapping and GIS software suite, announced several recent additional sales to UK local authorities. Bradford Metropolitan District Council has purchased Cadcorp’s flagship desktop GIS product, Cadcorp SIS Map Modeller, following a recent product evaluation exercise. It will be used initially to develop 3D terrain models to support the ‘Social Accessibility Modelling Project’ (a collaboration between Bradford Metropolitan District Council, West Yorkshire Public Transport Executive, Transport for London, the University of Westminster and Tower Hamlets Council). Elmbridge Borough Council has increased its Cadcorp SIS licence holding by ordering a number of Map Manager licences for use on Tablet PCs by council workers engaged in field work.
Cadcorp SIS user Charnwood Borough Council has purchased a Web-based GIS solution based upon Cadcorp SIS Active Server Component (ASC). In Scotland, Forth Valley GIS, the prestigious Stirling-based public sector GIS service provider, has also selected Cadcorp SIS Map Modeller following an evaluation period. This purchase is to give Forth Valley GIS additional flexibility for their GI data management strategies. Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, Dungannon District Council has purchased Cadcorp SIS following the recent visit to Belfast of the Cadcorp SIS Road Show and subsequent visits to the country.
“More orders are in the local government pipeline”, stated Mike O’Neil,
managing director, Cadcorp. “Because of the flexibility and openness of
Cadcorp SIS it can be used in conjunction with a customer’s existing GIS
investment so the question of supplanting existing technology and work
practices need never arise. This offers local government users options for best practice in GIS”, he added.
