GIS Managed Services

The Managed Service packages which ODCGIS offer are created bespoke to your requirements and your budget. Have you thought about how you can get the benefits of GIS as an organisation but can’t make the business case to buy in the systems or the resource?  This is why we have created these Managed Service packages to help you get all the benefits of GIS within your organisation without having to spend a fortune on systems and resource.

How a GIS Managed Service Will Help You

ODCGIS provide you with not only the staff but also over 20 years experience in GIS and the housing industry to truly help you to transform your organisation, provide insight and make strategic decisions based on data and intelligence.

Following a GIS Data Capture exercise one of the main problems we face is how an organisation can then make sure this effort is not lost in the future by not keeping it up to date.

As a client of our Managed Service you will have access to a GIS officer 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year who will be able to provide you with GIS support and maintain data as well as create new and run GIS analysis on your data.. Not only this but we will also ensure that you are within your licensing agreements with Ordnance Survey and also provide this data and keep it maintained. When taking out a Managed Service package with us you can either have your own GIS systems in-house such as ESRI, Cadcorp, Mapinfo or QGIS and we will work with these or we can provide you with a low cost GIS web mapping solution (GISMO) which sits in the cloud so you have access to your information where ever you have internet access.

GIS Mapping Helps All Departments

GIS Mapping can support all areas of any social housing organisation.  We usually find that GIS is embraced by one department and then spreads into other areas as the full benefits are realised, very often saving both time and money.  This can be by making a process more efficient or allowing informed decisions to be made.  To find out more click on the relevant department below:

Throughout this process there have been some tricky bits which to be honest have been a bit of a nightmare my end, for example, getting the correct information to ODCGIS and getting it there in a timely manner. I really appreciate their patience, especially when I have to then say we now need a really quick turnaround after the information needed has only just been provided. This is always met with a happy and helpful manner as is any enquiry no matter how big or small. ODCGIS’s approach is to always be thinking outside the box to give us the most out of the system. GIS is to me a small added extra on to my job role as no one was able to take it on. ODCGIS have made it into something that I enjoy and am proud to be part of building it at Raven and I am very grateful.

Sales Plans used to be a laborious process of getting our solicitor to supply the plan. ODCGIS now undertake this task for us as part of our Managed Service. Not only is the process a lot smoother but the costs work out less than we were previously paying.
Paul DockerillDirector of Energy and Programme Management – Walsall Housing Group
I’ve been really impressed with the ease of use of the GIS and being able to view our data in such a clear way is going to help us in all manner of ways in the future. This will improve our rent affordability by improving processes, reducing our overhead costs and giving our tenants better value for their rent, something that is really important to Loreburn.
Lorraine UsherChief Executive – Loreburn Housing Association
I have no hesitation in recommending ODCGIS in supporting your digital mapping infrastructure. ODCGIS provides Rooftop with a full package of services that ensures that our GIS systems and data are up to date, accurate and relevant for the business. We believe the business provides value for money not least in having access to skilled and professional GIS technicians freeing time for our own people to deliver on our core services.
David HannonDevelopment Director - Rooftop Housing Group
GCH has worked with ODCGIS for a couple of years, initially to map our grounds maintenance requirements, but their swift and efficient responses immediately prompted us to extend their services, through an annual service contract, which has resulted in enhanced mapping of our property data, flood risk, land ownership, and provision of RTB and land sales plans for property transactions. We now have an extensive wish list for even more data layers, coverings arrears, anti-social behaviour and repairs hot spots – our managers are eager to get their ideas in to GISMO. Julia and her team are so helpful - I don’t know how we operated without them.
Lynne PhillipsLeasehold Manager - Gloucester City Homes
The extra dimension of insight gained by having our data mapped by ODGIS is now so integral to the day-to-day work of Cottsway Housing Association’s Asset Management team that it would be difficult to do our work without it. In addition, having our grounds maintenance mapped for our Contractor to work from gives absolute clarity for everyone of where work should be carried out, as well as the meterage for invoicing. The ODCGIS team make speedy updates when details change and come up with great ideas for using graphical data that, as we have no inhouse expertise, is so useful.
Lynne BerryAsset Intelligence Officer - Cottsway Housing Association
CHP have been using ODCGIS now for just over two years. We appointed ODCGIS to replace an inhouse team due to the difficulty in finding and retaining the right calibre of employee. This has proven to be the right decision, as ODCGIS have excelled in their delivery, providing a skilled and flexible service at all times. They have also been very proactive in driving our solution forward recently helping us to successfully migrate to a cloud-based solution. I highly recommend ODCGIS’s Managed Service.

Hosted GIS Service

Part of the ODCGIS Managed Service package is not only in providing GIS Consultancy to run GIS tasks and create GIS data for you, but also to  manage and maintain your GIS.  If you already have a GIS such as ESRI, Cadcorp or QGIS etc then we will manage the system for you as well as ensuring layers are managed and kept up to date.

We can either host the data on our secure Amazon UK based web servers or manage from within your servers, whichever is preferred.

If you do not have a GIS then ODCGIS will supply you with a web GIS as part of your Managed Service.  This could be GISMO, which is white labelled for ODC from GISCloud or  ESRI’s Arc Online maybe more suitable.  Either way we will manage and maintain this for you so you do not need to worry about the day to day running or any internal resource issues.

ODCGIS exceeded the Trust’s expectations with the online maps and through their professionalism, speed of delivery, ongoing communication and willingness to accommodate any change requests. For this reason and due to the satisfaction the Trust have with the value for money the solution deployed gave us, I would highly recommend ODCGIS.
Sharon NaughtonProject Manager – Trafford Housing Trust
The map allows us to see staff locations in relation to our properties, so at a glance we can see who is able to provide cover in certain areas if required. During the current climate it’s a really useful tool to have available and has been well received by the staff that are using it.
Gareth EadsforthHead of Asset Management – Mosscare St. Vincent
Overall, we have been very impressed with ODCGIS and would have no hesitation in recommending them or working with them again.
James HoodProject Leader (Investment) - Stockport Homes
Raven have been working with ODCGIS for a number of years for the supporting of our Managed GIS Services and the provision of mapping solutions. They provide a responsive and flexible resource that allows us to manage the services that we offer to our residents around Grounds Maintenance, but also provide us insight into our land holdings and the properties and assets that sit within them. Without knowing where our properties are we feel that there is a missed opportunity to delivering efficient and effective service provision and allowing us the flexibility to update real world changes in requirements. We would recommend anyone who is looking for GIS services, Consultancy and advice contact ODCGIS in the first instance as they will always be able to provide advice and assist, in this complex arena.
Justin ChamberlinHead of Asset Management - Raven Housing Trust
