Consultancy
Creating INSPIRE compliant data themes and delivering data services in accordance with the INSPIRE implementing rules can be daunting task on the horizon. Snowflake offers a range of consultancy services specifically aimed at helping organisations understand and implement the various requirements of the INSPIRE Directive. Our pre-sales technical and business consultants have extensive knowledge of the requirements of the Directive and related Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) programmes and will work with you to:
- Understand the requirements of INSPIRE, how they relate to your organisation and identify what is required for you to meet the obligations of INSPIRE
- Identify the impact and changes INSPIRE and related SDI programmes will have on your current data management and publication infrastructures and potential costs/issues
- Develop prototype/pilot transformation and download services to identify whether there are gaps in the source data, data integrity/quality issues to enable organisations to update their various business processes
- Understand the most appropriate approach for exchanging different types of data to different users (i.e. download vs direct access services)
- Develop robust, scalable infrastructures for exchanging data with a diverse user community
- Develop data specifications, rules and processes for supporting data exchange
INSPIRE as a Service
We've just launched a brand new service in the UK (soon to roll out Europe wide) for INSPIRE.
It's a specialist consultancy and hosting service bundled together to provide you with a complete INSPIRE solution. If you need to create INSPIRE data to one or more of the Annex I themes, we can do it for you; starting with your source data and
ending with your INSPIRE compliance.
With this service, you'll have access to our INSPIRE experts, who will utilise the UKLP INSPIRE open source software with our market leading data transformation software, to ensure you achieve INSPIRE compliance.
Plus, our bundles are fixed cost per INSPIRE Theme, so there's no hidden extras along the way to compliance.
For more information take a look at the INSPIRE as a Service Flyer.
