Historically, the acquisition and deployment of spatial data has been driven according to the agendas of individual departments acting in isolation within organisations. Today, organisations recognise the strategic and budgetary importance of having their geographic information under central control.

That is why GDC developed Spatial Data Management.

Spatial Data Management enables efficient sharing of information and linking with non-spatial data, thereby minimizing data duplication and reducing IT support. By using open and interoperable applications, GDC enables organisations to select the best tools for the job from any vendor while maintaining a single corporate data hub as a ‘source of truth’ for storing, managing and distributing spatial data.
