Understanding the Impact of PAI on your Organisation

Geographic and spatial intelligence allows companies to improve the way they manage their business and interface with the outside world. Most commonly, a company's data, with the use of GIS, will have been captured against this OS 'backdrop', facilitating improved planning, monitoring and analysis through enhanced knowledge of assets.

For instance, decision making regarding location of distribution plant can be assisted resulting in digging fewer, smaller, and cheaper holes.

However, applying the PAI changes issued by the OS will inevitably have a knock-on effect; the captured data sets and the OS data will no longer match as the images illustrate:

The customer's existing GIS data - the asset data is aligned correctly with the mapbase.

Should the customer simply import the most recent PAI mapbase, their assets will no longer be aligned correctly.
