Join us

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the Valuation Office Agency’s (VOA) first enterprise-level Geographic Information System: Valuation Mapping System (VMS). This is a joint webinar with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Government Geography Profession (GGP).

In 2019, the Business Systems Transformation (BST) programme was set up to address VOA’s aspiration to develop resilience to changes in government policy. This provided an opportunity to completely redesign the geospatial ecosystem, which is a core component of location intelligence used in property valuation.

In 2023, BST successfully delivered VOA’s first enterprise-level Geographical Information System, Valuation Mapping System (VMS), with the following activities:

  • Incorporating business and users’ needs closely during the design of application, change management, and learning; and incorporating best practices from other organisations.
  • Reducing development time, cutting expenses, and enabling reconfiguration for any type of mapping by using a single source code to create various VMS versions.
  • Enabling the historical mapping, multi-criteria decision-making, and interactive exploration through linked views.
  • Using rigorous novel geo-analytics to redefine how VOA models and visualises the geographical homogeneity of valuation and link the properties to other geospatial intelligence.
