LONDON: 1Spatial, a global leader in Location Master Data Management (LMDM) software and solutions, has signed a multi-year contract with the State of Michigan in the USA, with an initial total contract value of approximately US$2.6m over five years.

The contract builds upon a relationship which began in 2018 and will see the State expand its use of 1Integrate, 1Spatial’s data management solution, and combine it with 1Data Gateway, 1Spatial’s newly launched portal, to provide an easy to use, automated data submission process for the validation and integration of spatial data from the local level up to the State.

This initiative forms an extension of the Michigan Geographic Framework, which created an official base map for State business needs. Over the next five years 1Spatial will be assisting the State with the move to the enterprise 1Integrate platform to support its Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) and to extend it to support such efforts as Next Generation 911 (NG911) for emergency management support.

Establishing this robust platform will enable Michigan to provide all partners (both State and Local) with a cohesive, integrated single-source of state-wide data. The ability to automate the submission and cleansing of location data submitted across the State by both State and Local entities will enable government to have access to a more robust set of information to utilise for more informed decision support.

Claire Milverton, CEO of 1Spatial, commented, “This is a significant extension of our existing relationship with the State of Michigan, which will see our 1Data Gateway portal in use across hundreds of organisations, enabling the State to unlock further value from their location data.  We believe this model is applicable across all the US States and we are excited to have secured this landmark customer so quickly after the launch of the portal in February this year. The contract adds to our revenue visibility and underlines the size of the addressable market for our Location Master Data Management offering.”
