Solutions

CGI GeoData360 is a state-of-the-art data processing platform supporting complex processing on large volumes of Earth Observation and Geospatial Data.

Key Features include:

  • Data Access – efficient access to online archives.
  • Granularity - containerisation at the level of individual processing step that increases flexibility, more efficient testing and implementation, improves optimisation potential from dynamic scaling.
  • Reusability – a centralised repository of standardised processing steps enabling rapid prototyping.
  • Orchestration and automation – linking process steps into complete processing workflows. Automation reduces operational costs.
  • Dynamic scaling and portability – processing resources and storage currently running on AWS and CreoDIAS, you only pay for what you use. It is also portable to other infrastructures (both public and private).

Impact

As a global leader in Geospatial Services, CGI is uniquely positioned to help organisations exploit this rapidly evolving technology to support the evolution and optimisation of business critical services.

Integrated data from multiple sources, including location, plus intelligent automation transforms service quality and improves efficiency for The Coal Authority. The Coal Authority (TCA) manages legacy issues, including subsidence damage claims, associated with the UK’s historic coal mining industry. With 25% of the country’s housing stock lying within coalfield areas, accessing a TCA mining report is often an important step in the conveyancing stage of house purchases.

CGI has enabled the TCA to digitise and automate its mining report service, end-to-end. The new system uses intelligent automation to generate the reports, integrating data from a number of sources including Ordnance Survey and a commercial partner which provides address validation. At the front end, an intuitive web interface makes it easy for users to self-service. More than one million reports have now been generated by the TCA’s digital mining report service.

Benefits of the streamlined service include:

  • Reduced transaction costs for the TCA and for citizens
  • Faster transactions: reports now take minutes, and sometimes just seconds, to produce
  • 100% increase in mining report productivity – 600 reports are generated every day
  • 59% of users now rate the service as excellent
