InstantAtlas Server
Community Health Profiles for England - Association of Public Health Observatories (APHO), UK
"Health Profiles provide a snapshot of health for each local council in England using key health indicators, which enables comparison locally, regionally and over time. We leveraged the power of Instant Atlas Server to display this complex data in an intuitive visual interface which would be equally useable by analysts, public health professionals and the public alike. Geowise could not have been more professional or cooperative in helping us achieve our vision on time and on budget."Gary Bates, Senior Applications Developer, South West Public Health Observatory
Child and Maternity Health Observatory (ChiMat) - Yorkshire & Humberside Public Health Observatory (YHPHO)
InstantAtlas Server provided the ChiMat team with an adaptable solution for managing and presenting quantitative data that was inexpensive and quick to implement. We were able to purchase the software and go live within three months. It was easy for our web designer to brand the InstantAtlas Server mini-site to match the ChiMat site. The highly interactive atlases delivered through the Data Views module are more engaging than static images. They allow users to explore our data and provide answers leaving our team to focus on more complex queries. The needs assessment modules we have produced through the Profile Reports module will make individuals within PCTs more productive by reducing the time it takes to produce needs assessments with local data.Kate Canning, Head of ChiMat/Senior Health Intelligence Specialist, Child and Maternal Health Observatory (ChiMat)
Diabetes InfoBank - Diabetes UK
"The powerful visuals in InstantAtlas enable us to communicate the issues clearly with all our audiences. We can analyse local service provision versus targets and easily graph these to make our lobbying assertive and more effective. People with diabetes can also quickly see how their locality is performing."Charlotte Gosden, Information Analyst, Healthcare and Policy Team, Diabetes UK
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
PHI Online - Ministry of Health, New Zealand
"Our PHIOnline site uses InstantAtlas to make large volumes of statistics much more accessible. Interactive graphics help decision makers interpret issues and trends. The clear visuals stimulate interest, investigation and support confident action to improve public health. User feedback has been excellent."Dr. Barry Borman, Manager (Epidemiologist) Public Health Intelligence, Ministry of Health, New Zealand

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) Tool - South West Public Health Observatory (SWPHO)
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) tool aims to help primary care trusts and local authorities jointly identify their areas of need. The Area Profile Template was chosen as there are a large number of indicators to be shown, and trend data is not widely available. In addition, the ability to compare neighbouring areas and select statistically similar areas using the filter option are very useful. Since its launch the JSNA tool has become one of the most viewed pages on the South West Public Health Observatory (SWPHO) website.

Wigan's Information System of Dynamic Online Maps (WISDOM) provides easy access to statistics at a variety of spatial levels covering a range of themes including deprivation, health and social care, children and young people and crime and disorder.
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
