Assets, Decisions, Value

Location intelligence and the processes that demand it typically reflect an organisation’s need to understand more about an object, feature or resource, collectively “assets”.  These may be fixed, mobile or even conceptual – clients, neighbourhoods or regions, buildings, land, property, vehicles or vessels, people, equipment, financial instruments (that in turn relate to current or future assets or resources).  It is intelligence about these assets that allow businesses to make decisions in relation to them, decisions that can mitigate risk, add value, optimise performance and deliver business value. 

Everything happens somewhere - all of these assets have one thing in common, place!  Information to do with that location is diverse, rich, complex, ever changing, multi-dimensional and tempting to park in the “too difficult” box owing to the perceived difficulties, costs and risks.  emapsite understands these concerns and is positioned to eliminate the difficulties and the risks and a huge swathe of the costs.

The emapsite content stack (see Suppliers) is vast and ever increasing, providing all manner of reference material, data and graphical content in relation to a specific location.  emapsite provides both a standards based graphical solution for visualisation and overlay purposes to support interested parties and a suite of customisable analytical and proximity drill down tools to deliver content and data to third party processes or applications for decision making. 

emapsite aims to provide all the geospatial data available in a way that allows the client to make a particular decision. Under this rationale the same information may result in different users with different requirements, algorithms, risks, rules and resources taking different decisions with respect to a given asset in a given location. Geographic analysis can inform and support decision making but it remains difficult to take into account both the tangible and intangible factors and externalities that impact a location or the consequences of a specific decision about that asset at that location. Domain expertise within the enterprise is dedicated to resolving this conundrum and by making available the most up to date, detailed information about a location on demand emapsite supports those experts in arriving at the most appropriate decision for their constraints.
