There are clear inefficiencies with any organisation running disparate address data. If different departments base their operations upon different information then inaccuracies can occur and for example a council tax department might be aware of a house converted into flats so will bill the new flats, yet the electoral services department might not and therefore unable to register those new people to vote.
Within any organisation the fundamental benefit will be the ability to manage a central gazetteer, from which updates can be disseminated to all other systems and departments.
In local government there is huge benefit with the ability to use iExchange to automate the sending of LLPG data to the national hub. The time saved through this automation can then be fed back into the management of the data and its use throughout the authority.

“iExchange provides us with additional benefits; automatically linking with the central NLPG Hub
to provide ongoing updates and outputting information for the address layer within the council’s
corporate GIS. This means that anyone with access to computerised mapping within the council
has an up to date address layer using the same address information as everybody else.”
