On the 12th and 13th July Fiona Buckingham and Alan Crisp headed over to the QEII Conference Centre in London to exhibit at Civil Service Live where we were joined by other Envitia staff including our CEO, Dr Sharon Cooper, Chairman John Massey and Business Development Manager, Steve Wallace during the event. The Civil Service Live London event, organised by Cabinet Office in partnership with Dods Parliamentary Communications Ltd (Dods), provided networking and collaboration opportunities for Civil Servants working in government departments and agencies, with private sector organisations.

One of the key themes for this event was ‘Improved Outcomes’, and in response to this theme, we had a 45 min seminar slot where Alan Crisp, Business Development Manager and Dr Sharon Cooper, CEO of Envitia delivered a presentation titled ‘You already have the answer……so how do you get to it?’ on the Tuesday morning. In this presentation, Alan and Sharon talked about the challenges surrounding data discovery in government departments, and how we have worked with our customers to overcome these challenges. It also included a case study based on a project we are involved in for the UK Ministry of Defence.

The event was well attended by over 6000 civil servants from different departments all across government including the Home Office, HMRC, DWP, Defra, VOA, NCA, Environment Agency to name a few. It was a busy couple of days and we managed to have some very interesting conversations with existing customers and with departments that we haven’t previously worked with.

 

Overall, the event was successful with lots of interest in our presentation and what we do. We are certainly hoping to attend the event again next year.

Envitia attended the Defence Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E) Plugfest which was held on 1-2 June 2016, Fairfax, VA. The event provided an opportunity for vendors to collaborate and demonstrate technology interoperability to meet various sponsor challenges. Among these, Payton Oliveri and Robin Parrish, Envitia’s US Office staff, participated in the Navy’s Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-N) Mashup Challenge, focused on showcasing how dozens of vendors could come together to solve Navy cloud analytics problems.

 

To recognize the participants and the degree to which they were able to demonstrate and contribute back to the DI2E framework, plaques with Gold Stars were awarded to participants and placed on stands. Gold Stars were awarded for aligning technology with DI2E capability visions, integrating with other vendors to solve problems, illustrating standards compliance or proposing additional standards for DI2E to encompass into their definitions, and for acknowledging cyber awareness constraints.

Envitia received recognition for all four objectives. On our booth table, we proudly displayed the four Gold Stars, as well as technology integration through Envitia’s GeoRegistry and Horizon with a video highlighting Envitia’s analytics and solutions experience on various programs.

Enhancing geospatial content through data conflation

13 Jul 2016
Applied Research, OGC, Open Source, OSM

The July/August 2016 issue of Geoconnexion magazine features an article on data conflation, authored by consultants from the Applied Research group at Envitia. The article explains how crowdsourced geoinformation can be conflated with authoritative datasets to realise enhanced products.

The article concludes that the benefits that data conflation of crowdsourced and authoritative information bestows can be summed-up as:

  • Lower survey costs per sq. km of data
  • Potential for near real-time updates
  • High density observations from a large number of sensors (users)
  • Coverage of global regions where authoritative data is sparse, or not available
  • A growing crowdsourcing community
  • The ability to enrich authoritative datasets with information pulled-through from crowdsourced sources

The article will be of interest to anyone looking to get the best out of their data assets and the wealth of volunteered geographic information that is available from crowdsourcing sites such as OpenStreetMap.
