LIS: The story so far..“A LIS is a web-based system which stores, analyses and presents national and local datasets at various geographies, including small scale. The main aims of a LIS are to act as an evidence base for policy makers and decision-makers and to act as a catalyst for data sharing across the partnership arena.”


Instant Atlas™ is a registered trademark of GeoWise Limited © 2008 GeoWise Ltd, a subsidiary of ESRI Holdings Ltd.

The basic objectives of a LIS are detailed below:

1. To support the information needs of xxx Strategic Partnership and xxx residents by improving access to information about xxx and its communities.

2. To provide a web-based central repository of data and other types of local information including performance indicators, consultation results and local publications in order to provide a single point and instant access to information on xxx.

3. To provide local information in an easy to use format that can respond to users’ specific information needs. For example, provide data at different geographical levels and in different formats such as charts and graphs.

4. To develop a system that provides a wide range of information that is publicly accessible, but also provides restricted access to sensitive information to authorised users.

5. To support policy development and decision-making by providing access to a range of consistent, comparable information across xxx.

6. To improve efficiency within xxx Strategic Partnership via the development and coordination of sustainable information sharing processes.

7. To rationalise information demands, therefore reducing duplication of time and resources by providing instant access to core information for use in a wide range of thematic areas.
