Although the vast majority of council working will reference properties within their administrative boundaries, there remain many instances when 'out-of-area' address data is required.
This address data is vital for those council departments who work with people coming into their area such as leisure and tourism, but even education departments average 4% of all pupils living outside of the district their school is located in.
In the same way that an LLPG can be used as the local source of accurate, up to date address data throughout an authority, the NLPG can similarly be used to give that accuracy on a national scale.
How can SinglePoint NLPG help?
The NLPG contains 32 million records, which is far too large for most systems to be able to hold. SinglePoint NLPG enables a local authority to hold the entire NLPG centrally and give access to that data via web services.
SinglePoint NLPG has four main benefits:
It compiles the entire NLPG into one, single database
It easily receives change only updates from the National Hub, which means all departments have new address data far quicker than they would though existing solutions
The easy to use web services mean that corporate ICT teams can very quickly create links into new systems using approved ICT standards
It removes the need for other departments to buy expensive licensing for other addressing products
