Buckinghamshire Fire Selects GGP Software

CROYDON, England, October 12, 2010 - Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has Procured Award Winning
Gazetteer Management Software and Geographic Information System (GIS)
from GGP Systems. Designed to provide easy access to centralised address
data, integrate front and back office systems and deliver powerful geographic
analysis, GGP Response will initially be used to facilitate the integration
of the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) within the Service's
mobilisation software. Future plans include accessing the gazetteer data from
Mobile Data Terminals and the integration of the NLPG to join up disparate
departmental databases.

"It was important that the selected solution had a proven track record in
the emergency services sector," commented Darryl Keen, Project Sponsor for
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (FRS). "GGP Systems could demonstrate
this credibility with reference sites giving positive recommendations. During
the tender process GGP Response performed very well; it offered the
functionality we required, and in some areas exceeded our requirements,
required no special development work and was available off the shelf."

GGP Response provides centralised access to address data and allows
organisations to access and maintain national datasets such as the NLPG
and National Street Gazetteer (NSG). The software also provides the tools to
integrate the data with web-based applications and other corporate or
departmental systems as well as communicating with the national NLPG hub.

GGP Response will initially be used to help Buckinghamshire FRS integrate
the NLPG within their mobilisation software from Fortek. The gazetteer
management tools will also enable quality control and manipulation of the
data with functionality specifically designed for users of the NLPG rather
than local authority custodians.

In the near future GGP Response will enable corporate wide access to the
data, including use in the field, bringing together a wide range of
departmental databases. The GIS functionality of GGP Response will further
enhance Buckinghamshire's use of spatial data with advanced tools for
integration, analysis and access.

GGP GIS, which provides tools for editing, plotting and maintaining the
geographic locations of properties and streets, also ensures synchronisation
between data held in different application databases and web enablers
providing online access to address data and geographical information.

GGP's web application; eNGz, provides a single point of access via the
web to the Service's entire address dataset and associated information from
other systems. It will facilitate the pooling of all data into a
centralisedlocation, which will dramatically reduce the time staff spend
searching for information.
