Michell
Computing
Bespoke software, GIS and databases for UK organisations
Michell Computing is a software engineering consultancy in the Northwest of England. The practice was established in 1990 and has more than thirty-five years of delivering systems for public bodies and private firms.
The work is practical: desktop tools, spatial systems, and the databases behind them. A good deal of it is now built with open source languages and libraries, including software we have released ourselves.
Desktop and field applications written to fit the job, from mapping tools to work-management systems.
Design, migration and long-term care of SQL systems, large and small, including spatial databases.
Collection, transformation and presentation of spatial data, including national coordinate systems.
Straightforward technical advice on GIS, open source tooling, and how to keep a system running.
A cross-platform coordinate transformer commissioned by the Ordnance Surveys of Great Britain and Ireland and Land & Property Services Northern Ireland, implementing OSGM15 and OSTN15.
A presentation and data-collection application for the Forestry Commission and Natural England, later adopted nationally and released as open source.
A land-inspection suite for the Homes and Communities Agency: field mapping with GPS, office reporting, and a national PostgreSQL store.
