Asset data underpins the performance of your entire organisation, affecting operational efficiency, safety, return on investment and regulatory compliance. Regulators are placing more emphasis on the quality of asset information to better understand industry performance and the direct effect this has on the companies’ valuation and price control reviews.

Asset Conformance Analysis (ACA) is a bespoke service from 1Spatial and QC Data to improve your existing asset data and create stronger foundations for future network planning. The combination of automated analysis and subsequent remedial editing by industry experts ensures that your data is cleansed to a high standard and ready for use across your organisation.
