What is Spatial Information?

How can it bring value to my organisation?

How can it assist me in my daily operations?

The power of spatial information to assist people and businesses is now well established.
Everything we see around us has a location and a dimension, and so it can be represented by spatial information. Over 80% of data held by government and organisations has a spatial component. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) unlock this data, enabling it to be used in maps or analysis to support decisions made every day, from the routine to the critical, from saving money to saving lives. 

Glenn Cockerton, Director, Spatial Vision

Below you will find a range of videos, produced by various organisations around the world, that aim to educate the public about spatial information and its ability to add value and bring efficiency and effectiveness to every day operations.

Health Decision Support System

“It is visual evidence, so it is much more tangible than other forms of evidence. The maps show how things look now and we can use them to predict how they will look in the future, which can trigger an intervention.”
