GGP Systems Launches Mail Merge GIS Software
CROYDON, England, July 7, 2010-- Local authorities can now instantly pinpoint and contact all residents
affected by road closures, floods or health hazards following the development
of innovative software by GGP Systems. The Croydon-based Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) company has combined computer mapping and property
ID technology to create address lists allowing instant mail merges for
notification or consultation letters and other direct communications. The new
software saves council staff time when communicating with local residents
and businesses as it uses a spatial search to quickly identify and select
address data.
Useful for alerting people about planning consultations, road works,
changes in waste collection services and environmental hazard warnings, a
simple geographic query is used to extract the addresses of only affected
households before automatically merging the information into a pre-prepared
letter or calling list. The GGP Mail Merge Spatial Tool also allows for the
creation and inclusion of a map within the letter, highlighting the area
affected.
"By giving councils the ability to effectively target communications by
geographic location we can help them save time, reduce unnecessary contact
and minimise waste," commented Tim Maxwell, Managing Director of GGP Systems.
The Mail Merge Spatial Tool is available as an option to GGP's GIS
software and integrates information from an organisation's GIS and
corporate address database with standard word processing software. The
software is designed to work with the councils' existing geographic
information resources and is compatible with both the Local Land and Property
Gazetteer and Ordnance Survey AddressPoint data formats. An optional map
centred either on the household or site of interest can also be generated for
inclusion in the
correspondence.
GGP Systems specialises in GIS and gazetteer management solutions
specifically designed for the UK public sector. The company provides easy
to use software for the creation and management of corporate property
databases, the ability to add and use a spatial element to all location based
information and a range of solutions to meet t-Government directives and the
drive towards shared services.
