Benefits

“We found MapRite to be the most user-friendly and consistently accurate programme around.  We were seeking fastidious accuracy and peace of mind that the processing was doing the job right - MapRite was able to provide this.  We also needed more than just PAI correction to be done on the data, it needed to be `cleaned` of various other faults too, something MapRite does very well.

It was obvious before our trial of MapRite software expired just how good Envitia are in terms of support and product development.  This and the fact that MapRite would prove useful even beyond PAI all helped us make our decision.”  Robert Steele – GIS Manager - Mole Valley District Council.

“Purchasing Envitia’s MapRite offered us the flexibility for managing and controlling our own re-alignment and improvement of data.  We were also keen to engage in some data cleansing to improve the overall quality of our data.  MapRite will give us the flexibility to do that as and when we are able to release staff resources.

Before making a final decision, Envitia and another leading vendor were invited to process a sample of data from part of the rural town of Newport.  This included some of our worst data (poor capture and complex polygons).  The results from MapRite showed a high degree of accuracy, matching the data to the post PAI map.  This convinced us that MapRite would shift our data more effectively, resulting in less manual editing and consequently reducing our overall costs.  Subsequently Envitia have been very helpful and responsive in helping us to setup our project and we look forward to an ongoing positive relationship with them.”  Mark Edwards - Acting GIS Leader - Telford and Wrekin Council.

“MapRite was clearly up to the task, and gave us the confidence to move forward with our PAI project.  We chose MapRite, after considering a number of other PAI solutions, due to its efficient workflow and flexibility in configuration. The quality of shift is excellent, meaning we have confidence in the software to both clean and transform our data onto the new base map.”  Alastair Jardine - GIS Administrator - Hambleton District Council.

“We chose Envitia MapRite after considering and evaluating a number of different solutions.  It had all the right answers to our problems from a technical and operational viewpoint.  It gave us the ability to correct and improve our own GI data in a sensible and predictable manner that fitted in with our workflow patterns. The net result being corrected data that is better than before PAI”.  Joe York - GIS Manager - Huntingdonshire District Council.

“At Salisbury District Council we sent sample data to selected PAI software suppliers for initial correction with their software.  The results were then compared on an object basis to assess the success of each product and estimate the time and cost to carry out manual correction across our largest datasets.  We then compared the cost of each product and correction costs.  Taking into consideration any time constraints and associated costs it was clear that MapRite satisfied our requirements for our PAI project.  David Piner – GIS Business Analyst - Salisbury District Council.

“With MapRite the data shifting was completed on time and within budget and, at the end of the six month project period, we have good quality corrected data to help us move forward in our use of OS MasterMap.”  Alan Hooper – Senior GMS Officer – Mid Devon District Council.

"Lichfield District Council is already seeing significant improvement and efficiencies in our data as a result of MapRite.  The Corporate GIS Team in partnership with Lichfield Data Custodians, with the aid of MapRite, are now able to document and agree data transformation rules and tolerances prior to the improvement process being carried out.  These documents and reports will become central to the Council’s Data management policies. Despite all the anticipated  issues, MapRite has meant that PAI can actually be quite fun!” Gareth Thomas – GIS Manager – Lichfield District Council.
