We can help national, regional, and local government agencies deploy GIS within their unique budgetary and policy constraints.

Governments were the early adopters of GIS, implementing it at the department level to help protect citizens; deliver services; manage property and taxes; and build safe and sustainable cities, regions, and nations. Professional Services has supported this GIS implementation throughout its history and continues to do so.

Now government agencies face pressure to deliver more services with greater efficiency at reduced costs. We can help governments move beyond departmental GIS installations to deploy COTS-based enterprise GIS solutions within the context of federated GIS. This structure

• Improves resource planning and sharing
• Allows multiagency and multijurisdiction collaboration
• Improves resource and service delivery
• Provides immediate visual status
• Saves lives, property, and time
• Makes better use of staff resources
• Saves money

Data Portals

We can help you build GIS data portals to organize content and services such as directories, search tools, community information, support resources, data, and applications. Building on GIS Portal Toolkit, our solutions provide capabilities to query metadata records for relevant data and services and link directly to the online sites that host content services. The content can be visualized as maps and used in geographic queries and analyses.

We offer services to help you during all stages of the GIS project life cycle through many contract types as well as through our GSA schedule and state purchasing agreements.
