Providing up-to-date, authoritative information from your national mapping agency to your stakeholders and customers requires effective management of data and processes in your system of record. Production management is needed to provide a clear picture into the resources, processes, and workflows required to be effective. Management of your nation's base data is critical to supporting customers and the work groups doing collection, production, and dissemination in your national mapping organization. Consistent data quality management and assurance must be in place to provide trusted and reliable information.
