Join us for our first Smarter Data, Smarter world pre-event forum on 9th November to discuss how 1Spatial and Ordnance Survey can help support the data requirements for a national Priority Services Register (PSR).

The UK is in the throes of an energy crisis that is predicted to force an estimated 45 million into fuel poverty.  Nearly two-thirds of all UK households – or 18 million families – could soon become financially vulnerable. Spurred by this, 1Spatial and its partner Ordnances Survey have joined forces to ensure that PSR data is more accurate and more current to better support the most vulnerable in our community.

Using the powerful business rules engine in 1Integrate, this is an opportunity for you to help design a PSR that will enrich and automate data validation and update customer information, so we can better serve, identify and predict who in our society might be in challenging circumstances this winter.

The aim of the session is to bring together utility companies, relevant government bodies, charities, and the third sector on how we can work together to create a complete and accurate PSR. Customer’s and Service Users’ information regularly changes which results in data being out of date almost as soon as it is collected. This workshop will focus on how we can cleanse and update data on a regular basis to ensure it is kept up to date. Not only ensuring that those who qualify for the register get the support they need but automating the process for Utilities companies to save them time and money.

Agenda:

2.00 – 2.20 pm – Overview of the PSR and the current issues facing the industry

3.00 – 4.30 pm – Group workshop – contributing to the development of a national PSR
