InstantAtlas 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.

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.
