9. 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

10. 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
