English Nature identified the need to ensure that their spatial datasets, that may be prepared by a range of different staff and contractors, could be amalgamated quickly and efficiently. In particular, data attributes of GIS datasets needed to be captured in a standardised way.

The requirement that was met by exeGesIS was to develop data input and verification software that could be run from within the user's standard GIS interface. Initial trials of the tool were well received by users and the system went into widespread use. Support and training for the system was provided by exeGesIS.
