Articles all about technology @ Ordnance Survey
Note from the editor

Ordnance Survey is an ambitious technology company, providing big data to more than 5,000 organisations. We make the most detailed and frequently updated maps in the world. Founded in 1791, Britain’s National Mapping Agency has a rich history of providing geospatial solutions to government, private industry, and consumers. After 200 years, other organisations might have struggled to adapt to modern technology, but OS has continued to evolve. So how do we do it? OS employs more than 200 software engineers who use modern technology, modern architecture, and modern development practices to prove the art of the possible in geospatial solutions. Our technology stack is as rich and diverse as our history, and includes professional providers like Microsoft Azure, ESRI, and FME. Every year our Geovation Hub supports numerous start-ups. This blog showcases the best of engineering at Ordnance Survey. You’ll see posts from our trainee engineers, telling you how they entered the industry, and posts from established engineers sharing their skills, experience, and best practices. We write about cloud architecture, microservices, and how we build world class APIs to deliver our data on demand. We want to show you what engineering is at OS, and how you can get involved no matter where you are in your career. Maybe you’re an experienced engineer looking to drive growth in the geospatial sector, or perhaps you’re interested in a career in technology, but you’re not sure where to start.
