At the heart of spatial analysis is data. Lots and lots of it. A basic map is adorned with dozens or hundreds of interactive data layers. Platforms such as Esri, Caci and Alteryx offer libraries of proprietary and open source data from Experian, Dun & Bradstreet, the Ordnance Survey, census data, satellite imagery, Met Office weather data and hundreds more to be woven in with the client’s own information. Spatial analysis takes the guesswork out of infrastructure planning, by integrating every known source of data into a single working model.
