Web mapping and cloud computing

Accessing your private cloud   

Our wide experience of providing web-based solutions falls into two categories.  In many cases, both technologies are used to achieve the optimum solution, with data being passed or shared seamlessly between the two.

Our particular specialisms are in making web-based computer mapping as fast and flexible as its desktop GIS equivalent, and the provision of tools that make traffic and highway data easy to understand and interact with.

Buchanan’s Private Cloud allows normal desktop applications to be run instead on our powerful servers and accessed from anywhere. Our cloud platform has been purpose built to provide an optimum environment even for demanding applications such as computer mapping, for an individual or for hundreds of simultaneous users.

Our servers have been tuned to provide a high level of performance for map-based applications such as ParkMap and AccsMap, and other Geographical Information System software. Our specialist expertise on web-based GIS will enable your applications to run on our servers as quickly as on an individual desktop computer, and often faster!

Accident analysis – one of many possibilities with Traffweb

Traffweb is a superbly fast and configuarable web-based GIS.  It forms a data portal to provide live access to published data through any standard Internet browser. 

• Simple to use, fast and configurable
• Specialist modules for highways include traffic orders, signs, markings, road accidents and consultation
• Serves up information rich data in an easy to understand format
• Data remains owned and controlled by its originator
• Cost effective and efficient 

Traffweb allows users to obtain the information they need in the simplest way. However complex the central database, users see only the view of the data that has been configured for their needs. They can then click on the map to ‘drill down’ to reveal more detail of associated data, images and documents. This approach keeps the interface clean and simple whilst catering for all types of user.
