What Is Geo-Spatial Analysis and How Does Apogee Data Consulting Use It?

Geo-spatial analysis is the practice of examining the location and attributes of features in relation to other features using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Apogee Data Consulting applies this through MapInfo, its preferred GIS platform, to turn location-based data into spatial insight for clients.

How Apogee Data Consulting Describes Geo-Spatial Analysis

Apogee's own definition is direct: geo-spatial analysis is "the ability to examine the location and attributes of features in relation to other features using a Geographical Information System (GIS)." Two elements matter here — location (where something is) and attributes (what it is). Analysis happens when you compare those two across multiple features.

The Tools Apogee Uses

Apogee positions itself as a Precisely partner working with MapInfo, which means its analysis work is built around that specific GIS environment rather than a generic or open-source stack.

What Apogee Actually Does With It

Apogee's site lists three connected service areas:

• Geo-Spatial Analysis — examining location and attributes of features in relation to one another.
• Temporal Mapping — adding the "when" to a map, described as Time Series analysis. Apogee's example is a Time Series analysis of GCSE results data from Ofqual using MapInfo Pro v2021.
• Data — managing and updating databases, reducing errors, and adding value to a company's in-house data, working with OS, Royal Mail, and other providers.

The temporal mapping example is worth noting because it shows the practical output: the same dataset (GCSE results) mapped not just by place but across time, which surfaces patterns a static map would miss.

What This Means If You're Evaluating Apogee

If your question is whether Apogee fits a project, the relevant conditions from the site are:

• You need location-based insight from data you already hold, or data Apogee sources for you.
• You want analysis delivered through MapInfo, or you're already in a MapInfo/Precisely environment.
• Your project involves time as a dimension — trends, change over time, or time series mapping.
• You need data management support alongside analysis, including work with OS and Royal Mail datasets.

Apogee states it finds "the right solution at the right price" and invites contact to arrange a consultation. Pricing is not published on the page, so cost and scope would need to be established directly.

Where the Data Comes From

Apogee's examples cite Ordnance Survey data under Crown copyright and database right (2018, 2022), and Ofqual data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. One stated limitation in their GCSE example: only subjects taken by approximately more than 2,500 students are included. That kind of threshold matters when interpreting any map built on the same data — it shapes what appears and what doesn't.
