Newport City Homes migrates to cloud hosted web mapping

Cadcorp cloud service provides hosted web mapping for housing association’s asset and land ownership

Newport City Homes first started using Cadcorp web mapping technology in 2010. At that time, the software was installed and hosted on their local infrastructure and Newport City Homes managed both the application and data. Following Cadcorp’s announcement of a cloud migration path, Newport City Homes saw the opportunity to benefit from cloud hosting, resolving the internal resource challenge of managing GIS and web mapping without a dedicated GIS Manager.

Newport City Homes decided to take advantage of Cadcorp’s cloud migration path. Existing software licences were transitioned from on-premise systems to a cloud hosted and managed environment; Newport City Homes was given access to web mapping software and Ordnance Survey map data hosted in a Microsoft Azure UK Data Centre. As part of the migration process, Cadcorp worked closely with the housing association to set up and configure the application and data. Cadcorp continues to manage the software and Ordnance Survey updates on their behalf, and a workflow has been created to enable Newport City Homes to automatically update data from their internal Asset Management and Housing Management systems.

Jamie Roberts, Asset Data Co-ordinator at Newport City Homes commented: “We were already making significant savings from using Cadcorp’s web mapping software but we found that without the dedicated resources required, we weren’t able to maintain it and keep up-to-date. When we found out that Cadcorp could manage our web mapping in the cloud on our behalf, and at a very reasonable price, we were keen to go ahead. It’s like having your own web mapping administrator onsite.”

Newport City Homes uses the web mapping application for visualising and analysing their property locations, land titles, adopted roads and associated attributes. This enables everyone within the organisation a geographical view of their ownership and responsibilities.

Cadcorp is an approved GIS supplier on G-Cloud. More details on Cadcorp hosted web mapping for housing associations can be found here: http://cdcp.io/wmh
