Onboarding and offboarding

• Getting started: VertiGIS Studio offers a robust and complete suite of user documentation for self study, available at https://docs.vertigis.com/en/build-your-own.html; ; Furthermore, 1Spatial can also provide both on-site, online and self-paced training.
• Service documentation: Yes
• Documentation formats:
  • HTML
  • PDF
• End-of-contract data extraction: As a platform for building geospatial applications, the resulting applications can be exported from the user interface at any stage during the contract lifecycle, as an app .json and some .xml. ; ; Likewise, any custom components and workflows that the user creates can be exported from the user interface as .json at any stage during the contract lifecycle. ; ; The geospatial data itself is stored in Esri ArcGIS Portal, subject to Esri's supplier conditions for storing, retrieving and extracting data. ; ; There are few other relevant pieces of data other than user credentials, which typically do not need to be extracted.
• End-of-contract process: At the end of the contract, the VertiGIS Studio licence simply expires, and the application will no longer allow itself to be used.; ; There are no end of contract costs nor similar.

Using the service

• Web browser interface: Yes
• Supported browsers:
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • Safari
  • Opera
• Application to install: No
• Designed for use on mobile devices: Yes
• Differences between the mobile and desktop service: VertiGIS Studio has two application designers:; ; The first, VertiGIS Studio Web, allows you to author applications for desktop, tablet and mobile that are to be used online. These applications are accessed on the device of choosing as responsive web apps, via a browser. ; ; The second, VertiGIS Studio Mobile, allows you to author applications for mobile that are specifically designed to be used offline in the field (e.g. .ipa for iOS, .apk plus .aab for Android, .appxbundle for Windows). ; ; Both application designers are accessible by desktop, and the user can choose what kinds of devices the resulting applications can run on.
• Service interface: No
• User support accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA or EN 301 549
• API: Yes
• What users can and can't do using the API: VertiGIS Studio has a complete suite of APIs for each of the component applications it has. ; ; Each application has distinct APIs based on its functionality. These APIs are consistent in style between applications. ; ; The functionality available through each API depends, but in general allows developers to extend the service. One example would be by further creating a workflow step for your specific needs via calling both VertiGIS APIs and other APIs. Another example would be using the API to call various VertiGIS functions from other non-VertiGIS applications. ; ; The API can be extended with custom commands for workflows that you have built, and as such is very flexible and powerful. ; ; The APIs themselves are RESTful. ; ; The application does not support setting up the service via API.
• API documentation: Yes
• API documentation formats: HTML
• API sandbox or test environment: Yes
• Customisation available: Yes
• Description of customisation: VertiGIS Studio Web was created with the sole purpose of allow the easy creation (via no-code, drag and drop visual programming) of geospatial web applications. ; ; Accordingly, the applications created can be hugely customisable, in a near infinite array of combined workflows, UI components, forms, and configuration. ; ; Furthermore, while the VertiGIS Studio toolboxes offer a huge range of tools and components for users to use to create customised geospatial web applications, users can add in and create their own new tools and components to be used in this process.; ; An example might be adding in API calls to other applications to be used as part of a geospatial application. ; ; Accordingly, VertiGIS Studio is hugely configurable in the base suite of components it offers. Moreover, it allows for even more customisation via giving users the ability to add and create new components to be used.

Scaling

• Independence of resources: We offer two approaches for deployment. The first is using VertiGIS' SaaS environments (which offer a choice of location between Europe and the USA). These run in Microsoft Azure. ; ; The second option involves installation on the customer's private cloud environment. ; ; In both cases it must be noted that VertiGIS Studio is a service for designing geospatial web apps, and not the service that hosts those web apps itself. ; ; Esri ArcGIS Enterprise is the service which hosts those web apps. The precise deployment pattern of the underlying ArcGIS Enterprise system (and therefore load balancing) is at the discretion of the customer.

Analytics

• Service usage metrics: Yes
• Metrics types: Any user can access the service metrics, and may use these to identify the availability and status of the suite of services that allow a user to use a VertiGIS Studio-created geospatial application.; ; This comprises ArcGIS servers, Enterprise Portal servers, ArcGIS Online accounts, the VertiGIS Studio Web application, the VertiGIS Studio Mobile application, as well as information on the server hosting VertiGIS Studio itself.

Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: We offer two approaches for deployment. The first is using VertiGIS' SaaS environments (which offer a choice of location between Europe and the USA). These run in Microsoft Azure, and thus inherit the guaranteed level of availability inherent to Microsoft Azure. At the time of writing, this means 99.99% uptime. ; ; The second option involves installation on the customer's private cloud environment. This would entail the guaranteed level of availability inherent to that private cloud environment.
• Approach to resilience: We offer two approaches for deployment. The first is using VertiGIS' SaaS environments (which offer a choice of location between Europe and the USA). These run in Microsoft Azure, and thus inherit the resilience inherent to Microsoft Azure. ; ; The second option involves installation on the customer's private cloud environment. This would entail the resilience inherent to that private cloud environment.
• Outage reporting: VertiGIS Studio SaaS as deployed by VertiGIS on Microsoft Azure has no automated outage dashboards nor notifications.; ; Should VertiGIS Studio be installed on the customer's private cloud instance, then the customer could take advantage of whatever monitoring capabilities are available for that environment.; ; In both cases it must be noted that VertiGIS Studio is a service for designing geospatial web apps, and not the service that hosts those web apps itself. Esri ArcGIS Enterprise is the service which hosts those web apps, and is therefore more relevant to this question. Esri ArcGIS Portal (the relevant component of ArcGIS Enterprise) does have automated email alerts for service outages.

  Fighting climate change

  As an operator of cloud computing infrastructure with a focus on natural assets and the environment, 1Spatial considers fighting climate change to be of acute importance to our company, our industry, and the world we live in. ; ; To address climate change, we hold ourselves and others accountable in a number of ways. We report on all scopes of our SRG emissions, targeting a net reduction each year for the next decade or more. We have implemented a certified ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System for reduction in our environmental impact and custodianship of the natural world. This includes supplier assessments and reviews, with a focus on environmental impact. ; ; We are mindful of the enormous (and growing) environmental damage caused by cloud computing. This awareness comprises not just the energy requirements and energy sourcing of cloud computing, but also the heavy water requirement of cloud datacentres, and the electrical waste implications. Microsoft’s commitment for Azure towards use of 100% renewable energy by 2025, water positivity by 2030, and zero-waste certification by 2030 is of significant importance for 1Spatial’s commitment to a fairer deal for the planet.

  Covid-19 recovery

  1Spatial is aware of the lasting impact COVID-19 has had in disabling many people and of the less visible mental scarring and atrophying of local communities that it has caused. ; ; To address this and promote the well-being of our staff, we have implemented a number of mental health and wellbeing initiatives such as training Mental Health First Aiders, a HealthShield cash health plan, and seminars and listening exercises relating to COVID-19 recovery, staff pay and benefits, and more. ; ; Across the UK, many have become disabled, or long-term sick, or have started caring for others who continue to suffer as a result of COVID-19. To better foster inclusion of such people and those in caring roles, we have been operating a remote-first recruitment policy, as well as working with current staff to support them to find the remote working and flexible hours arrangements that suit them. ; ; We also maintain a clean, safe office in our Cambridge HQ that allows for social distancing for those still shielding. ; ; Additionally, we operate a number of apprenticeship, graduate and training programmes that allow those whose livelihoods were affected by the pandemic to retrain and enter new industries.

  Tackling economic inequality

  1Spatial leverages multiple approaches to tackling economic inequality. We have researched and implemented measures to tackle inequality within our workforce. These include taking steps wherever possible to reduce bias in recruitment, and offering multiple entry and progression pathways such as apprenticeships and school-leaver programmes. ; ; 1Spatial also considers its role in the wider economy as a provider of data management tools for better decision-making. The effective use of accurate, reliable and complete geospatial data can make a significant difference in helping to reduce economic inequality. Location data is a valuable source for mapping and monitoring economic inequality and analysing the efficacy of solutions that address economic inequality. For instance, location data can be used to provide insights into the relationships and trends between household income and economic activity across the UK. For example, Ordnance Survey data, which is underpinned by 1Spatial’s technology is being used by HMRC to increase the take-up of tax credits so that disabled workers, people on low incomes or with responsibility for children can access the benefits they are entitled to. ; ; Finally, 1Spatial considers that the primary driver of any country’s shared long-term economic prosperity is strong, robust legal institutions and national infrastructure. Our contributions to creating these span our work with utility companies to extend outreach to under-served communities, working on the National Underground Asset Register to make the workforce safety of underground construction work more equal with that of other industries, and ensuring the rule of the law in our work with bodies such as Defra, Land and Property Services, and law enforcement bodies.

  Equal opportunity

  1Spatial has built procedures and attitudes into its operations to promote equal opportunity and reduce inequality. ; ; When we recruit, we take steps wherever possible to reduce bias in recruitment, and offer multiple entry and progression pathways such as apprenticeships and school-leaver programmes. ; ; We also target a broader geographical and human range in our recruitment. We offer remote-only roles across the UK, and work with our staff on flexible working arrangements so their role can fit in around their day-to-day needs. This allows our staff to work within an industry where their life situation may otherwise prevent them. ; ; We maintain a range of apprenticeship and graduate programmes that allow us to attract the people and skills we need as a business. These offer pathways into industries such as HR, finance, geospatial analysis and more. We give each staff member a £400 budget for them to spend on their own professional development and training, allowing them to build the skills they need to flourish in their chosen path. ; ; We are also working towards fostering and supporting greater neurodiversity. We are in the process of setting up a new Cambridge office with designated quiet areas for those who have strong noise level preferences when they work.

  Wellbeing

  1Spatial provides a range of benefits and engages in activities aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of staff, customers, and user community. ; ; For our staff, we provide a range of benefits, including a HealthShield cash plan for wellbeing, mental health first aiders, and enhanced maternity and paternity pay – including pension contributions for the entire maternity/paternity period. We operate internal training courses aimed at fostering a welcoming and discrimination-free environment, as well as those targeted at physical wellbeing such as desk posture and hygiene, and manual lifting. ; ; We are also working towards a fertility and menopause policy. ; ; Elsewhere, we use local suppliers wherever possible, fostering greater integration with the communities around our Cambridge HQ. ; ; When developing software, we make sure to work with user communities during the design process wherever possible, and offer customer events and training to bring users together to foster working relationships. ; ; Finally, we also offer flexible working as well as remote work, allowing our employees greater control of their time and environment.
