Gazetteer management is the process of not only using address data, but of building it and building upon it. Corporate gazetteer management is ensuring that this data is then shared across and used by an entire organisation.   We have been involved in the creation of gazetteer management systems for many years, creating the BS7666 toolbox for MapInfo, which went on to form the basis of our Symphony Suite of gazetteer solutions for local authorities.

In addition to the creation and management of BS7666 gazetteers, the Symphony Suite also contains solutions for back office integration, data matching, geocoding and data validation.

It's not just local authorities that have a requirement for gazetteer management and for the emergency services we can offer the Symphony Bluelight Gazetteer. Containing functionality built specifically for the needs of the emergency services, it is the UK's most advanced gazetteer management system.
