Torus gains clear and compelling insights with Cloud GIS and web mapping

For social landlords, Torus, the drive for a stronger community required a deeper understanding of the challenges at the neighbourhood level. Their Development team’s need was based not solely on the availability of land but on the promise of ‘place’. Modeling required predictive analytics techniques and a GIS that could verify and showcase the research to a wide audience via web maps. To eliminate the need for costly internal ICT infrastructure, Torus selected Cadcorp SIS Desktop and Cadcorp SIS WebMap in the cloud. Torus created a GIS SharePoint page where staff can access, amongst many others, thematic maps showing the locations of embedded assets, growth potential, and crime hotspots. These maps were combined into an overall index of vitality. www.cadcorp.com
