What Data Management Services Does Apogee Data Consulting Provide?
Updated
Apogee Data Consulting provides bespoke data services built around database management, error reduction and adding value to a client's own in-house data. The company works with Ordnance Survey (OS), Royal Mail and other data providers to deliver that service, and it combines this with geo-spatial analysis and temporal mapping using MapInfo as its preferred GIS. If your question is whether Apogee handles data management as a distinct offering rather than only mapping, the answer is yes — data management is presented as one of its three core service areas alongside geo-spatial analysis and temporal mapping.
What the data management service covers
According to the company's own description, data management is "the process of updating databases, reducing errors and adding value to a company's own in-house data." That breaks into three practical activities:
- Updating databases — keeping records current rather than frozen at the point of collection.
- Reducing errors — cleaning and correcting data so downstream analysis or operations aren't built on faulty records.
- Adding value to in-house data — enriching what a client already holds, rather than replacing it.
The emphasis on "in-house data" matters: the service is positioned as working with what you already have, not only supplying new datasets.
Where the external data comes from
Apogee states that it works with OS and Royal Mail plus other providers to deliver a bespoke data service. In practice this means reference data such as addresses and geographic boundaries can be brought in to enrich or validate a client's own records. The site's map examples carry attribution to Ordnance Survey (Crown copyright and database right 2018 and 2022) and to Ofqual data under the Open Government Licence v3.0, which shows the kind of public and licensed sources that feed into its work.
Because the service is described as bespoke, the specific providers and datasets used will depend on the task — the site does not publish a fixed product list or package tiers.
How it connects to the other two services
Data management at Apogee is not isolated from the mapping side of the business. The three areas reinforce each other:
| Service | What it does | Example from the site |
|---|---|---|
| Data management | Updates databases, reduces errors, enriches in-house data | Working with OS, Royal Mail and other providers |
| Geo-spatial analysis | Examines location and attributes of features in relation to other features using GIS | MapInfo as preferred GIS; Apogee is a Precisely partner |
| Temporal mapping | Adds the "when" to a map for extra insight | Time series analysis of Ofqual GCSE results data in MapInfo Pro v2021 |
So if your underlying data is incomplete or error-prone, the analysis and temporal mapping outputs inherit those problems — which is why the data management layer sits underneath the other two.
How to decide whether this fits your needs
Consider Apogee's data management service if:
- You already hold in-house data and want it cleaned, updated or enriched rather than rebuilt from scratch.
- You need address or geographic reference data (for example from OS or Royal Mail) matched to your own records.
- You want the data work and the subsequent mapping or analysis handled by the same provider, using MapInfo.
- You need a solution scoped to your budget — the site states it aims to "find the right solution at the right price" and invites contact for a consultation.
Look elsewhere if you need a published, self-serve data product with listed prices: the site does not display pricing, packages or a sign-up flow, and the stated route to engagement is arranging a consultation.
Next step
The site's own call to action is to contact Apogee to arrange a consultation, where the scope, data sources and cost can be defined against your specific dataset. That is the point at which the "bespoke" nature of the service becomes concrete, since neither the providers used nor the price are fixed in advance on the public pages.
