What are the key deliverables of the SPC for SI&EPs?
• the acquisition of consistent elevation and spatial imagery inline with user requirements • a central archive to host images • a supporting policy framework • a process to ensure the program is responsive to the needs of stakeholders, and • efficiencies in the management of spatial imagery for WoVG. What are the key benefits for Users? Benefits are largely associated with the simplification and streamlining of all components of procurement, contractural arrangements, technical expertise, product quality, coordination and project management. By establishing a SPC for spatial imagery and elevation products, the coordination of procurement for this asset can be managed through a central team. The Program Team track projects with synergies in terms of geographic region or product specifications. Participating agencies can then share costs or save money on the basis of economies of scale. Further efficiencies can be gained by this data being placed on the Image Web Server (IWS) and made a
