VertiGIS has announced a sole channel partnership with INDIGITAL to provide automated GIS data validation, governance, and managed services for Next Generation 911 (NG911) agencies across the United States. Powered by VertiGIS 1Engage, the collaboration aims to help public safety organizations improve GIS data quality, strengthen emergency response infrastructure, and support reliable NG911 operations.
The partnership combines VertiGIS' expertise in geospatial data management with INDIGITAL's experience in public safety communications, enabling agencies to validate, maintain, and govern critical location datasets that support emergency call routing and operational readiness.

Under the partnership, INDIGITAL will deliver GIS products and managed services tailored to the needs of 911 agencies. The offering includes automated GIS validation, reporting, discrepancy tracking, readiness assessments, and indoor mapping support through VertiGIS 1Engage.
The platform automatically validates authoritative GIS datasets, including road centerlines, address points, and emergency service boundaries, against operational requirements and applicable standards. These capabilities are already integrated into INDIGITAL's Automated Validation Gateway, helping ensure GIS data accuracy that directly impacts emergency call outcomes.
Through INGEO by INDIGITAL, public safety agencies can now access these advanced GIS data assurance capabilities as part of their NG911 operations.
The collaboration addresses the growing need for continuous GIS data validation as NG911 deployments expand across the United States. Rather than relying solely on one-time readiness assessments, agencies can implement ongoing governance processes that maintain data accuracy as systems and datasets evolve.
Commenting on the partnership, Andy Berry, CEO of VertiGIS, said:
"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. In a domain where data quality directly affects how calls are routed and lives are protected; end-to-end accountability is critical."
The joint solution helps emergency communications agencies improve operational efficiency and long-term data governance by enabling them to:
By improving GIS data quality, agencies can support more accurate location information, efficient emergency call routing, and future AI-driven public safety applications.
The partnership brings together complementary industry expertise. VertiGIS, through 1Spatial, contributes decades of experience in geospatial data validation, governance, and large-scale location data management across government, transportation, utilities, and infrastructure sectors.
INDIGITAL contributes extensive experience in NG911 deployment and public safety communications, including the deployment of the United States' first statewide ESInet in Indiana in 2004.
Commenting on the collaboration, Lynne Houserman, CEO of INDIGITAL, said:
“In NG911, the network and the data cannot be treated as separate conversations. 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.”
As NG911 adoption continues to grow nationwide, the partnership provides agencies with an integrated approach to GIS data validation, governance, and emergency communications infrastructure. By combining automated GIS quality management with operational expertise, VertiGIS and INDIGITAL aim to help public safety organizations maintain reliable emergency response systems while preparing for future digital and AI-enabled capabilities.
