Pitfalls and challenges Don’t have access to FSEC algorithms The incumbent CLG mapping partner is the only commercial organisation with access to the FSEC algorithms through their relationship with the CLG Our customers have the ‘expense’ of running an additional GIS system that does not support open standards and may not fit with their operational requirements

Plans for future Development Continue to develop core Cadcorp SIS software based on requirements of UK FRS Continue to support UK FRS customers to implement their IRMP In discussion with CLG to get access to FSEC algorithms
