Formed in September 2005, GISTech Ltd has helped Transport for London implement a system for monitoring and coordinating roadworks across the capital. The system allows for the 33 London boroughs and utility companies to coordinate streetworks in an aim to reduce congestion on London's road network.

Due to the amount of participating parties it was not possible to use any plug-in technology so the application had to have a pure HTML front-end. The main problem to overcome here was that everytime a new map was requested the page would re-load and spoil the user experience. To overcome this we decided to use AJaX technology and this meant that we could load a map behind the scenes and then display the new map without a page refresh. This AJaX approach also offered benefits of being able to communiacate with the server as and when items on the page were selected so that the server always knew the state of the client.

GISTech is able to give consultancy on AJaX technology aswell as other web technologies.
