Another year of ISO 9001 Quality Standards

We started on the path to Quality Assurance as a company 30 years ago and achieved the old BS5750 for Quality Management Systems the following year.

Then it went to the international standard of ISO9001.

We have been audited every year since and just achieved another successful audit. Far from being a simple documentation of our processes, this has been a continual journey of change and improvement that works for CDR Group and proof that this assures our customers of the high standards of quality that we strive for.

Thank you to NQA for their service in the external accreditation.

CDR Group has a renewed place on G-Cloud 13, the UK Government's cloud procurement framework

Once more, we are very pleased to announce the renewed offering of Spectrum Spatial as a cloud based GIS application via the G-Cloud catalogue. Spectrum Spatial, from Precisely, is a powerful web mapping tool that can be accessed from any device in any location and has an intuitive interface that allows staff to jump straight into spatial data without any training. We already work with a number of public sector organisations and hope that being included in the governments procurement framework will give prospective customers the final vote of confidence they need to invest in CDR Group.

G-Cloud 13 offers public sector organisations the opportunity to purchase their cloud-based software and services from a single catalogue. Buying services through frameworks is faster and cheaper than entering into individual procurement contracts. Buyers and suppliers still need to sign a contract (or ‘call-off contract’) for each service bought through a framework. G-Cloud 13 is the thirteenth iteration of the G-Cloud framework. G-Cloud is open to all public sector bodies including central government, local government, third sector organisations, NHS and other health providers and education.

Precisely Spectrum Spatial v2022.1 Released

Spectrum Spatial v2022.1 - was released on the 31st March and is now available.

v2022.1 of Spectrum Spatial

This release tackles the major security concerns following the Log4Shell vulnerability issue of last year, that affected most java based systems. The Spectrum Platform (which includes Spectrum Spatial server) and Spectrum Spatial Analyst will now require JDK 11 as a pre-requisite for deployment. JDK8 is no longer supported for deployment of the Platform.
It also comes with enhanced features and a number of bug fixes.

Here's a list of some of the most important improvements in Spectrum Spatial v2022.1:

• Multi-Resolution Raster (MRR) table - volatility enhancements. The concept of volatility will now apply to TAB files which are using MRR as a source.
• MRR precision and type enhancements.
• Sub-admins to manage their own named connections via the Spatial Manager.
• Support for SQL Server 2019 and Oracle 18c and 19c data sources.
• Support has been added for PostGIS as a destination source when uploading data from SSA using the internal data upload service. SSA will now show connections for Post GIS in addition to SQL Server and file-based connections (which are used for uploading to TAB file as a destination).
• Show data bind info using custom templates.
• Support for Third Party WMTS services.
• Spatial Analyst and the extensibility framework have been upgraded to Angular 11. The benefits are that load times when first browsing to the application will be noticeably improved.

The underlying components used by Analyst have been updated. The primary changes are:-

• Openlayers is now on version 6.5 rather than 4.5.

• PrimeNG is version 11.

• The underlying library supporting extensibility actions and state management is now NGRX 11.

MapInfo Pro v2021.1 Released

MapInfo Pro v2021.1 - a minor upgrade to MapInfo Pro v2021 - was released on the 31st March and can be downloaded from here

v2021.1 of MapInfo Pro

This release comes with full support for all the localized languages that MapInfo Pro supports. And, it also comes with enhanced features and a number of bug fixes.

Here's a list of some of the most important improvements in MapInfo Pro v2021.1:

• New Choose Projection dialog with favourite and most recent used projections and with Search support lets you reuse and find projections a lot easier
• Support for time-enabled WMS layers allows you to use these in conjunction with Time Series. The time-enabled layers are marked with a time symbol in the Open WMS Table dialog
• Visibility Expression support for Raster and Vector layers allows you to control when a layer should be visible.
• Can be used in combination with Time Series to turn on and off layers for specific time intervals.
• You can now time-enable layers for the Time Series analysis in more ways. You can use existing columns, use a MapBasic expression, use the Layer Visibility Expression, and you can use a time-enabled WMS layer.
• New projections for Germany and the Philippines.
• Refresh Query support in these dialogs: SQL Select, Select by Location and Select by Attribute let you refresh an already open query without removing it from windows.
• WFS Tab files in a shared location. WFS data files can now be stored in a temporary location allowing you to share the WFS tab files across multiple users
• Offline MapInfo Pro Viewer lets you use MapInfo Pro Viewer without constant internet access.

And don't want to forget that MapBasic v2021.1 has also been released. Find it here

The place to go to find out more - complete with images and further explanation - is the MapInfo Pro online Community. Peter Moller does a great job here
