Cadcorp SIS® - Spatial Information System® Pitfalls and challenges • Don’t have access to FSEC algorithms • The incumbent CLG mapping partner is the only commercial organisation with access to the FSEC algorithms through their relationship with the CLG • Our customers have the ‘expense’ of running an additional GIS system that does not support open standards and may not fit with their operational requirements

Cadcorp SIS® - Spatial Information System® Plans for future Development • Continue to develop core Cadcorp SIS software based on requirements of UK FRS • Continue to support UK FRS customers to implement their IRMP • In discussion with CLG to get access to FSEC algorithms
