Abstract

Challenging Traditional Business Processes in the Approach to Automate
Track: National Mapping
Authors: Derek Howland

As a national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey needs to react quickly to customer needs in the creation of new products. A new team has been using ArcGIS tools to apply automated generalisation techniques. Through innovative use of the tools, and by challenging product specifications and source data models, the team has been successful in creating high quality products at different resolutions. This paper will discuss the technical solution and frame it within the underlying business context.
