Instant Atlas Display English Indices of Deprivation 2007 - Blackpool Council
This Instant Atlas display was created to show viewers custom ranges rather than dividing the data into equal intervals or quantiles for the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 and its seven domains of deprivation. Some Local Area Agreement work is based on areas with the 3% most deprived nationally for the Index of Multiple Deprivation. This enables the viewer to sort the data and easily see where the highest pockets of deprivation in Blackpool are located. Custom ranges are created by classifying the data as categoric rather than numeric in the Data Manager.Blackpool Council Local Election 2007 - Blackpool Council
This Instant Atlas display enabled us to present live interactive election results on the council website within minutes of the results being made available. The viewer can see the Winning Party, total votes and candidate details by selecting an area on the map.Rachel Wright, Research Officer, Blackpool Council
Atlas of Deprivation - Bournemouth Borough Council
"The Performance Profile template has proved its usefulness in the presentation of this complex dataset. There are eight indicators available for each Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA). For each indicator, there is also comparison available with the previous release of the same dataset (2004). The performance profile has proved flexible enough to display the rank and score of all indicators for 2007, the rank of the corresponding indicator for 2004 (as a "target bar") and eye-catching symbols to highlight areas that have changed by "one" or "two or more" quintiles (in terms of national rank) from 2004 to 2007."Adam Park, Research & Intelligence

KnowFife - Fife Council
"InstantAtlas enables KnowFife Dataset users to explore multi-agency data sets online and locate for themselves the information they want, drill down into it and perform their own custom analyses. It is also good to know that everyone has the same access to the information. This self service, InstantAtlas-supported approach means far fewer ad-hoc data requests for each partner, is saving everybody time and resources and most importantly is making information on Fife so much more accessible to decision makers and our citizens."Coryn Barclay, Policy Officer, Corporate Research Team, Policy and Organisational Development, Fife Council
Leeds JSNA - Leeds PCT and Leeds City Council

Newham Information System (NIMS) - London Borough of Newham
This atlas was prepared for the Neighbourhood Information Management System (NIMS) Team of London Borough of Newham to present nationally ranked scores of multiple deprivation at small area level. The report uses our Performance Profile template which is ideal for presenting data of this kind - nationally consistent ranks of multiple domains related to deprivation. The bars of the bullet graph (top right) illustrate how varied the cross-domain profile of deprivation can be at a neighbourhood scale. The background grey bars indicate how areas rank nationally in terms of fifths (quintiles) with bars overlapping the darkest grey sections being classed in the 20% most deprived of all areas nationally.NOMAD - Nottingham City Council
"We selected InstantAtlas for ease of creating neighbourhood maps and graphs, intuitive ease-of-use, speed of operation, affordability and expected ease of implementation and integration with the council's ESRI tool-set."Mick Dunn, Corporate GIS Manager, Nottingham City Council
Norfolk Insight - Norfolk County Council
“Some GIS and LIS solutions come packaged with national data sets at fixed area levels and present it in rigid formats, “ said Pontin. “InstantAtlas gives us the freedom to choose data sources, locally and nationally and our users the flexibility to visualise data as they want to see it.”Wendy Pontin, Principal Information Analyst, Norfolk Insight

Crime Atlas - Worcestershire County Council
"InstantAtlas provides a cost-effective, quick and adaptable tool which needs no underlying software and can be updated with new data with minimal effort. It also provides a much more intuitive interface when compared with GIS. Overall, we would give a recommendation for organisations with similar needs to consider using InstantAtlas "David Onions, Research & Intelligence Unit, Worcestershire County Council
