Making the most of DNAS Delivering real returns on public data Presented by: Derek O’Halloran Date: 14th June 2007
What’s it all about? 7-8 years ago Efficient Government Private Sector -> Public Sector • Process Efficiencies • Leverage Existing Data • Data Sharing - Intelligence
Bright sparks in Whitehall 5-6 years ago All services are delivered to A Person at A Place A Realisation A Brilliant Idea Wouldn’t it be good if we had a standardised list of all the addresses in the UK?!
Simple and straightforward… (?) LLPG Local Land & Property Gazetteer MAD Master Address Database NLPG National Land & Property Gazetteer DNAS Definitive National Address Scotland CAG Corporate Address Gazetteer Pointer Pointer & Mosaic GeoHub Acacia Project Acacia NSAI National Spatial Address Infrastructure
So for councils now: • 3 years and lots of money developing ‘Gazetteers’ • Compelled to use them - ‘Realise Efficiencies’ • Sitting with a flat file of local addresses… • Complete lack of expertise on using data Huge, further, un-budgeted expense
Turning to QAS… Unix Browser Windows Housing Education Web Social Work Rev & Bens PRO PRO PRO PRO PRO QAS QAS QAS QA Address Data File (PAF)
What our customers asked for… Unix Browser Windows Housing Education Web Social Work Rev & Bens PRO PRO PRO PRO PRO QAS QAS QAS Corporate Address Gazetteer
What is QuickAddress Gateway? Provides access to councils own ‘Gazetteers’ through standard QAS tools
LLPG LLPG LLPG QuickAddress Gateway • Available to Local Authorities/Councils • Precursor to ability to build other customer data Gazetteer module QuickAddress Database Builder
New issues: an old solution QA Pro: 3 areas of features customers get benefit from: Data Their Own + Multiple Gaz PAF, Names Business etc. Functionality Fuzzy Matching etc 25% uplift Integration P&G API Web Universal Quick Easy
Too Expensive Not Scalable Only For Web Not Practical Alternatives Other models being sold to councils: Individual Connectors “Address Data Hub” Web Services Data Dumps
Case Study: North Lanarkshire • Long-standing QAS customer – IT Department • Gazetteer Project lead by eGov team • Referred to QAS by Scottish Executive • Key Reasons for Buying: Minimal Development Timescales Access to National Gazetteer Demonstrable ROI
Who else is it for…? • 32 Local Authorities • Central Government • Emergency Services • Health • Criminal Justice • Utilities…
Nearly time for coffee… What Worked Well • Bringing different areas of the business together • E-Govermment / Citizen 1st • Departments • IT • Treating data as a Corporate Asset Lessons Learnt • Communicate with teams earlier rather than later!
