Local Government
Currently there is high pressure for each individual local council to save money and reduce costs. Although costs have to be reduced the councils are also under pressure to provide a better, safer service for their constituent, tasks like managing corporate property, flood management and planning cases still needs to be completed to a high standard. Blom has been able to assist our local authority customers by providing quality products, such as LiDAR and aerial photography, that reduce the costs associated with site visits, enables quicker planning decisions and can be integrated into mapping applications allowing the whole authority to access the dataset and have that extra visual intelligence of their area. This provides a fantastic return on investment and can save large sums of money for each department the data is used within.
Blom has a strong background in providing local authorities with datasets ranging from traditional aerial survey to hosted oblique data and models via the BlomURBEX™ service. With the hosted BlomURBEX™ geospatial service now available to the local government sector this also reduces the costs of having to manage and host their own data volumes which results in even further cost savings.
