Digital Mapping

The term 'Digital Mapping' covers a broad spectrum of disciplines. At The Lead Partnership we use different software, including GIS, to support our digital mapping services. We have also developed and programmed our own software routines to speed up and assist the conversion of client data into appropriate formats for map production. We specialise in the following areas:

1. We customise and add value to off-the-shelf 3rd party digital mapping to produce derived map products for print and for application in GIS and on the Internet. Typically, but not exclusively, the 3rd party digital mapping we use is under licence to our client. We add thematic content to the mapping based on data supplied by our clients. We align our production techniques to work in parallel with the digital mapping, data and computer-based systems our clients use.

2. We provide support services for projects that include the use of GIS. Typically these projects arise in environmental and geo-scientific fields and contain a significant body of work where digital mapping and database services are required.

3. We undertake data capture and data sourcing as part of our service to clients to optimise production processes and to maximise the benefits that can be accrued by our clients from the project they have commissioned.
