Ordnance Survey (OS) Chief Technology Officer, Manish, takes us through the benefits of tools and tech. Manish leads OS technology, including the delivery of the OS National Geographic Database (OS NGD) - with half a million geographical features of Great Britain, updated 20,000 times a day. Manish explains how we can never have enough tools.
"It’s humbling to be ultimately responsible for the technology that underpins the foundational map of the nation."
What is the OS NGD?
The OS NGD is a single store of all Ordnance Survey’s authoritative data for Great Britain. The OS NGD delivers the richer data you need for better analysis and our download service, OS Select+Build, makes it easier to find, package and analyse the data you need, such as address and building data for emergency planning.
