Case Study: Scottish Environment Protection Agency transforms environmental decision-making with Spotfire

Scottish Environment Protection Agency transforms decision- making with data

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) faced the challenge of protecting Scotland's environment with a small team and a rigid budget. Its manual, code-heavy processes for analyzing environmental data were slow, unsustainable, and prevented staff from making timely, informed decisions in the field. To overcome this, SEPA partnered with TIBCO.

By implementing TIBCO's analytics and visualization platform, SEPA empowered its staff with mobile tools to analyze data on-site without writing code. This solution streamlined workflows, reduced manual processes by 80%, and cut non-compliance events by 40%, saving £1.4 million. The TIBCO platform also increased public transparency, enabled data-driven conservation grants, and solidified SEPA's role as a key stakeholder in environmental policy.
