A national database of all properties in England and Wales is an important government backed project that allows easier access to public information. Really a property level 'postcode' this national gazetteer (previously known as the NLPG) provides a unique ID and location for all properties, streets and areas of land. Behind the scheme is a GeoPlace - a public sector limited liability partnership between the Local Government Association and Ordnance Survey.

Road traffic accidents in London were reduced by 30%, following a government initiative in the late 1990s. Behind the success was a pioneering Geographic Information System (GIS) called GGP. In 1992 GGP Systems was established and has since become the UK leader in local government GIS and related geospatial technology such as software for managing National Land and Property (NLPG) records.

When you check out at your supermarket, central stock systems are immediately updated in preparation for the next delivery of goods to that store. The transport operation is complex - getting the correct goods onto any one of maybe 4000 vehicles at 20 different regional depots and then creating the most efficient delivery schedule and route. The chances are that the software that sorts all this out is supplied by Dorking-based Paragon Software Systems. See www.paragonrouting.com

Remember back to when you first learnt to draw by joining up the dots? Now imagine seeing a 3D cube made up of a million dots and trying to make sense of it. Well, when laser scanners are used to survey an area or object they produce literally billions of these dots or data points - called a 'Point Cloud'. In order to make sense of point clouds clever software is needed to convert the data into a 3D computer model that can be used for creating 3D visualisations, plans, maps and models. Now owned by Bentley, Pointools are the people behind this software; used by surveyors, civil engineers, architects and map makers around the world.
