RSA signs deal with Ordnance Survey

RSA has signed a deal with Ordnance Survey to use new product VectorMap Local.

The product allows users to customise the content and style of their mapping to suit their specific needs and is the first in a new generation of digital mapping products from the national mapping agency.

Technical manager in the geographic risk assessment unit at RSA, Rob Osment, said: "Adopting OS Vector Map Local will allow RSA to significantly improve its geographic analysis capability and help us to achieve new levels of accuracy.

“This new mapping will allow us to implement customised applications in support of our activities such as Risk Assessment, Accumulation Assessment and Major Incident Management. This will benefit both our customers and our business.”

Financial services sector manager at Ordnance Survey, Sarah Adams, said: “It’s great to see RSA taking the market leading position when it comes to using spatial analysis for risk assessment and accumulation of insurance policies.

“RSA and its customers will now benefit from the greater flexibility that OS VectorMap Local provides.”
