The company is owned by nine local and regional Councils who are responsible for delivering services across a large geographic area including the Bay of Plenty, Taupo and Gisborne areas.
The councils are currently working together on a shared services project which is intended to establish a common spatial data infrastructure for GIS which will enhance GIS within the councils and the community and ensure that the best access possible is available to those requiring GIS services. This project is under the oversight of an Advisory Group comprising representatives of all councils.
At least four of the councils have planned to review their capability to provide web based GIS and Mapping services and are looking at reviewing and or replacing software. As a result we are investigating a common approach to providing the web based GIS services.
We have issued an Expressions of Interest document to identify potential suppliers and to gain a view of the capabilities available in the market place. This may or may not lead to the issuing of an RFP.
