Why is Positional Improvement important?

Why is Positional Improvement relevant to LPS customers?

The increasing use of more sophisticated data capture equipment and the requirement to combine digital datasets within a Geographical Information System (GIS), makes the absolute positioning of spatial data more critical, especially for customers whose business systems are required to be GPS compliant.

For customers who use LPS large scale mapping as a backdrop upon which they place their own data, any positional shift will have clear implications for the overlaid data in terms of positioning.

To illustrate the impact of PI in a real business context, LPS have developed a case study which highlights the implications of PI in the data used by a utilities company.

A case study has been carried out on the impact of Positional Improvement (PI) on Northern Ireland Electricity. For more detail, please follow the link below:
