local information systems

Background

GeoWise is the UK market leader in delivering off-the-shelf Local Information Systems (LIS) and Data Observatory solutions. Our experience comes from more than 60 implementations of InstantAtlas Server across local government and NHS organisations in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

Detail about InstantAtlas Server is available on our product pages. This area of our site, the LIS Resource Pack, provides information on LIS resources that we have put together over the last 5 years. They are aimed at two key audiences:

  • Those in the early stage of their thinking about management of local intelligence, more evidence-driven processes, and partnership-based data exchange.
  • Those who have set up some form of LIS but are looking to improve data management processes and better integrate with other corporate processes.

The Resource Pack includes online seminars, documents, reports and web links.  It also includes details of the LIS Data and Report Packs we have put together in partnership with OCSI
