Although the evaluation was originally planned to last just two weeks, the trials were so successful that the EA business users decided to extend the project for a further five months. EA continued to test the pilot software as if it were in full production in the pilot areas. The project is now in the final stages and the asset management business is considering its options in terms of potential rollout to the rest of the country.

Much of the success of the project was down to user enthusiasm for the solution. Users reported that the software was “highly robust”, “fast and flawless” and was a “strongly performing software application”. Field workers also found the GeoField interface "intuitive” - a comment typical of that received from our customers.]]> News http://www.sigmaseven.co.uk/news.htm?entry=Environment-Agency-concludes-successful-pilot http://www.sigmaseven.co.uk/news.htm?entry=Environment-Agency-concludes-successful-pilot DMG Mon, 2 Nov 2009 10:44:11 GMT Dont-speak-GIS-to-the-CEO
It all sounds promising. Yet investment in GI technology is not cheap and often requires senior management or board level approval. So we have to sell the benefits to these people and this has proved difficult in the past. Knowing your market and how to reach it is fundamental to everyone’s business. We want to find new customers for our solutions and spread the word.

But what exactly is the word? What language do business executives use to describe what specialists would call GI?

To date the terminology that dominates the geospatial industry has been driven by the vendors. Much of the language is exclusive and technical. If you think about it, most traditional GI-speak tells you what it is, but not what it does. Where is the value?

A survey of leading business journals reveals a stark truth: GIS barely gets a mention. Compare this with the high and frequent recognition of other enterprise technologies and you’re forced to conclude that either GIS isn’t the strategic force it thinks it is, or everyone’s using a different name. The language of the industry is not that of our customers. Where is the common ground between GIS and CEO? It is time to change how we think and talk abut GIS.

The Environmental Protection Agency protects the environment in the Ireland through its licensing, enforcement and monitoring activities. EPA’s specialist teams of field biologists are responsible for monitoring the health of the hundreds of lakes and rivers through the country. It is a complex task that is challenging and time-consuming to carry out using traditional paper maps and plans.

A multi-function, mobile GIS solution, Sigma Seven’s GeoField product is ideally suited to this specialised and detailed work. Running on powerful Tablet PCs, it provides the field teams with all the maps and related information they require, including records of previous surveys, areas of interest, land use and species identification.

The field devices are linked to GPS, which helps the field teams with locations as well as providing a record of transects and survey points. Digital cameras linked to the field devices are used extensively to record surveys, habitats and plant and animal samples. Because GeoField allows direct electronic recording of all field data through structured workflow, the captured data can be fed directly into the EPA’s analysis and reporting process, saving many man hours of laborious transcription from hand written field notes.

Sigma Seven’s proposal was selected for multiple reasons: the suitability of GeoField to the EPA’s field work requirements; Sigma Seven’s capability and deep understanding of mobile GIS; value for money and the speed of deployment made possible by a GeoField-based solution.

Andrew Coleman, Sigma Seven’s New Business Manager, said, ‘We are absolutely delighted that the EPA have chosen GeoField to advance their lake and river monitoring work. We believe that our GeoField software suite offers valuable tools for environmental agencies and consultancies. To be selected by the lead environmental agency of an EU country demonstrates that GeoField has the features and reliability to satisfy the most exacting requirements.’]]> Press http://www.sigmaseven.co.uk/news.htm?entry=Environmental-Protection-Agency-tests-the-water-with-GeoField http://www.sigmaseven.co.uk/news.htm?entry=Environmental-Protection-Agency-tests-the-water-with-GeoField AAC Sat, 1 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GMT Symbion-Project-Delivers-to-Rave-Reviews In the final phase of our project with Symbion Power, a Symbion team this week used GeoField Helicopter Surveying on a live customer aerial survey for the first time.

Sigma Seven believes its GeoField suite provides an ideal tool for emergency responders, planners and resilience forums to address many of the Pitt recommendations, especially the rapid and effective deployment, integration and sharing of information from many sources to many key workers.

Built to run on rugged hand-held Tablet PCs and UMPCs, GeoField provides proven mobile mapping, GIS, asset management, data collection, work management and field worker support tools. Once trained, administrators can quickly load numerous third-party data sets needed for emergency response; for example, GIS flood analyses, local authority plans, Ordnance Survey maps, utility asset data, and locations of vulnerable people. It is quickly configurable, allowing multiagency data import and export. All data is cached and resides on the Tablet PC so the product is resilient and able to work independently when there is no power or communications – essential in major disasters. The software supports GPRS and add-on devices such as cameras and surveying equipment. It is compatible with all mapping standards, including KML, which allows rapid publication of data on command intranets and to the public.

This makes GeoField an ideal platform for local resilience forums and emergency responders to build a standard emergency response toolkit. This would have the capability to support the emergency planning framework standards and deliver the correct responses to planned scenarios as Pitt recommends.

Keeping on top of their legal duties will be a major challenge given that trees coming into contact with power lines already accounts for up to 20% of all power outages. It will also be a costly, on-going commitment - UK power companies are already given an allowance for vegetation management by Ofgem of £58.3m per annum.

The DTI estimates that UK companies will have to spend an additional £17m per annum on vegetation management if they are to meet their new obligations under the ESQCR – an increase of around 30%. To compensate, Ofgem are willing to recalculate the allowance made to power companies based on their new commitments. But this issue is not simply about complying with the law and agreeing the level of Regulatory allowance, it forces power companies to rethink their vegetation management strategy. Key factors that they will need to address are: increasing the frequency of site visits; increasing the number of land owner agreements; improving contractor performance management; and sourcing and retaining better knowledge of site details and stakeholder relationships.

Sigma Seven’s Vegetation Management solution has an established track record when it comes to addressing and solving these issues. Our “point of action” application uses field mapping to manage the end-to-end workflow needed for effective and efficient vegetation management. This single integrated solution has been proven to increase capacity whilst reducing costs; ensuring that the work is managed in a way that can demonstrate compliance with even the most challenging standards and procedures.

Andrew Coleman, Strategist for Sigma Seven, comments "We welcome the new thinking on funding for the five trading funds and wholly agree with the analysis that freeing this public information will promote greater innovation and job creation, especially in IT and web services."

"In turn this commercial success will provide greater economic benefit for the UK than existing revenue from Trading Funds. The Ordance Survey do a fantastic job, but we have seen project after project with clients wishing to exploit public map data - full of creative potential and value - fail on the business model purely due to cost of data from Ordnance Survey".]]> Opinion http://www.sigmaseven.co.uk/news.htm?entry=Sigma-Seven-comments-on-new-Government-consultation http://www.sigmaseven.co.uk/news.htm?entry=Sigma-Seven-comments-on-new-Government-consultation AAC Thu, 07 Jun 2007 22:48:58 GMT Scottish-Water-users-connect-through-GPRS
Jason Saxon, Spatial Systems Manager for Scottish Water said “The speed of turnaround to develop and implement this high quality and low maintenance system was deeply impressive. Sigma Seven proved friendly, trustworthy and approachable throughout.”
