1Spatial by VertiGIS and INDIGITAL Partner to Bring Automated GIS Data Integrity to NG911
Partnership delivers validated, governed location data and NG911 infrastructure through a single accountable partner, powered by VertiGIS 1Engage.
London, UK, July 30, 2026 – VertiGIS, a global leader in geospatial solutions, today announced a sole channel partnership with INDIGITAL, a leading provider of next-generation public safety communications solutions, to deliver automated GIS data validation, governance and managed services to 911 agencies across the United States. The partnership is powered by VertiGIS 1Engage, the GIS data quality and aggregation platform from 1Spatial by VertiGIS.
Through the partnership, INDIGITAL will offer agencies GIS products and services scaled to their needs — from automated validation and reporting to readiness assessment, indoor mapping support and discrepancy tracking across critical location datasets. VertiGIS 1Engage helps agencies automatically validate and manage authoritative GIS datasets, including road centerlines, address points and emergency-service boundaries, against applicable standards and operational requirements. INDIGITAL already applies these capabilities within its NGCS operations through its Automated Validation Gateway, ensuring the integrity of GIS data that can affect 911 call outcomes. With INGEO by INDIGITAL, agencies can now access that same standard of data assurance directly.
“When we acquired 1Spatial, our goal was to strengthen the connection between location data management and real-world operational outcomes. This partnership with INDIGITAL delivers on that vision by providing public-safety agencies with a single, accountable path from validated GIS data through to a fully operational NG911 environment,” said Andy Berry, CEO of VertiGIS. “In a domain where data quality directly affects how calls are routed and lives are protected; end-to-end accountability is critical.”
As NG911 deployments accelerate across the United States, agencies need trusted, repeatable processes for validating and maintaining GIS data over time — not just one-time readiness checks. High-quality, governed datasets support accurate location information, efficient call routing and provide a foundation for emerging AI-driven public safety workflows.
“In NG911, the network and the data cannot be treated as separate conversations,” said Lynne Houserman, CEO of INDIGITAL. “The core services can only perform as reliably as the GIS data supporting them. We launched the INGEO portfolio so agencies can work with just one vendor responsible for helping ensure that both pieces are aligned, validated and ready to operate together.”
Operational Benefits for NG911 Agencies
The partnership helps agencies turn GIS data quality into practical operational value, including the ability to:
- Identify and resolve GIS data issues earlier, before they affect NG911 operations or service delivery.
- Reduce manual review effort through repeatable validation, reporting and governance processes.
- Improve coordination across counties, municipalities and data contributors in complex regional environments.
- Maintain long-term operational confidence as NG911 systems, datasets and contributor networks evolve.
