3rd April 2007, Cambridge, UK. 1Spatial is pleased to announce CH2M HILL as a Gold Sponsor of their inaugural Conference: ‘Fit For Purpose’ (2-3rd May at Ordnance Survey Business Centre, Southampton, UK).
CH2M HILL Enterprise Management Solutions (EMS) is an industry-leading IT-focused management consulting and technology solution development business. CH2M HILL EMS provides clients with a single source for assessing, designing, building, integrating and managing its IT networks, data and enterprise information systems worldwide.
The business differentiates itself through an ability to leverage and integrate its core lines of business to offer management consulting, solution development and managed services across the entire client enterprise.
Its EMS Enterprise Spatial Solutions practice is the world’s largest, privately-held spatial consulting firm. It offers a full suite of spatial information management services to provide its clients with a single source for managing all of its spatial needs.
“CH2M HILL looks forward in participating in this year’s 1Spatial conference,” said Simon Cuciurean, CH2M HILL EMS vice president, European-Middle East operations. “The Conference is critical to our business success in Europe as it offers us an opportunity to showcase our best of breed spatial solutions, meet with our existing clients, introduce ourselves to potential clients and conduct business all at one venue.”
Steven Ramage, Business Development Director and key contact for the 1Spatial Community, added:
“In a recent IDC white paper sponsored by CH2M HILL it was highlighted that the global requirement for integrating spatial information management (SIM) into enterprise systems is growing and is becoming an important component of enterprise IT strategy.
Organisations will need extensive expertise in areas like business process reengineering and guidance on setting up and managing spatial data infrastructures to do this effectively. They will also necessarily require tools for spatial data integration, notably quality control.
We are very pleased that CH2M HILL is a principal sponsor of this industry event since all of these areas will be addressed at the 1Spatial Conference by CH2M HILL, other invited presenters and ourselves.”
The 1Spatial Conference, also supported by Oracle, will create a forum for the discussion of the integration of spatial data in enterprise IT architectures and the creation of Spatial Data Infrastructures. It will be a global platform, an industry-leading event and the first of its kind. The conference allies spatial data processing with mainstream IT issues for the first time in a conference event. The timing is important as Europe in particular embark though initiatives such as INSPIRE and strive to expand the use and sharing of spatial data from legacy GIS into open, accessible spatial data infrastructures. The world at large also demands even greater access to mapping across the worldwide web.
