Publication date:

Requirements:

  • The Ecometrica Platform runs on the cloud, so all end users need to access the platform is an internet connection. The simple mapping interface is accessed via a web browser where users can identify areas of interest and query data to automate actionable
  • Bespoke applications can be developed and managed by Ecometrica, or organisations can use the platform to manage their own spatial and earth observation derived data on ecosystem services

Advantages:

  • Enables organisations to move beyond fragmented, offline data collection and storage, to effective creation and management of useable cotent
  • Stakeholders can interact with spatial data on ecosystem services and leverage its value, without requiring expert knowledge in GIS or Remote Sensing as has traditionally been the case.
  • Complex reports can be rapidly generated for areas of interest, while the data is stored securely on cloud services, reducing processing and transfer costs, controlling IP and facilitating version control

Constraints:

  • It is a content management system, allowing users to display, disseminate and query data in a user friendly way. Although in can perform complex queries on the fly, it is not a modelling tool.
