3. GeoDATA
2009 Background to the problem
• Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping used extensively within
Mouchel.
• OS move from ‘LandLine’ (lines/cartography) to ‘MasterMap’
(objects/database) 5 years ago
– MasterMap format exclusively from summer 2008.
• Mouchel historically no effective OS licence management
system = exposure to major compliance risks.
• Prominent example of challenges Mouchel working with OS
on described pictorially:

2009 Business requirements and risk
mitigation
• OS Licence Management system, policies and
processes:-
– To centrally and transparently manage OS licences
with a highly visible single point of contact
– To be able to fulfil all OS licence compliance
requirements including a full audit trail and
understanding of all OS licences used by Mouchel
– To ensure that all OS mapping users are able to query a
central OS licence repository and check to see the
limitations and restrictions of relevant agreements
– To ensure that all projects use legally permissible
mapping data

8. GeoDATA
2009 Business requirements and risk
mitigation
• Geospatial solution:-
– Store, manage and distribute the new OS Mastermap
data, other OS products and wider mapping information
for all relevant Mouchel offices
– Integrate with currently used software and systems,
permit manipulation of mapping information and store
additional datasets to add value to client work
– Provide simple, legal, secure, up-to-date, online
access to mapping information, anywhere, anytime,
whilst reducing duplication of data and only paying for
the data used

9. GeoDATA
2009 Consideration for business
case and board approval
• This is a large, complicated problem for which the solution
will be underpinned by business process change
• In 2007 Mouchel embarked on a detailed requirements
gathering process, identifying over 90 key stakeholders, 77
major challenges, 31 tangible business requirements
and 80+ solution requirements
• The Mouchel geospatial usage questionnaire has helped us
understand exactly who, what and where geospatial
information is used within Mouchel
• The project has significant long term benefits with the
immediate requirements focussed around OS compliance,
distribution of data, Mastermap management and efficiency
gains

10. GeoDATA
2009 Solution:
• Mouchel recently installed Maps@ to manage the
disparate GIS data assigned to it by their many clients.
• Maps@ created easily accessible web portal allowing
Mouchel’s GIS team to centrally manage and distribute a
single complete Ordnance Survey (OS) database, rather
than multiple data abstracts, bringing vastly improved
service delivery to its clients.
• For Mouchel, ensuring full compliance with Ordnance
Survey licensing, will in the future mean being able to
produce audit trail reports to satisfy these licence terms.

2009 Relationships
“Management is on the verge of a major breakthrough in
understanding how industrial company success depends on
the interactions between the flows of information, materials,
money, manpower, and capital equipment. The way these
five flow systems interlock to amplify one another and to
cause change and fluctuation will form the basis for
anticipating the effects of decisions, policies, organizational
forms, and investment choices.”
