The new viaEuropa Cloud map service ishosted from UK data centres and backed by a service level agreement (SLA).The service will deliver Ordnance Survey base maps for use by the public sector in a wide range of different applications spanning web, desktop and mobile platforms for either internal or public-facing mapping applications. Unlike some other hosted map services, the viaEuropa platform is able to support a wide range of different technologies, making it easy to deploy within existing software environments with minimal effort.

It reinforces the Government’s desire to see a wider range of cloud services, including those from SMEs like Europa Technologies, being made more accessible to public sector users through a simplified and faster approach to procurement."
