Geodesy's offerings range from consulting to full-scale application development. |
| Consulting |
We can analyze
and catalog GIS data and determine if data should be organized
centrally, distributed, and/or replicated. Application needs are
identified and appropriate combinations of off-the-shelf
software and custom development recommended – always balancing
initial cost with long term savings. |
| Software Tailoring |
Geodesy can
extend off-the-shelf software to add new capabilities, automate
repetitive tasks to reduce steps, and hide unused features to
reduce complexity. For example, we can augment ArcGIS or
GeoMedia to pop up lists of feature-related documents for
viewing, such as a list of plats associated with a selected
parcel. |
| Interim Applications |
An inexpensive,
quickly delivered application can fill in while a more sophisticated,
long-range automation plan is implemented. Our DOX application,
a miniature document management system, and the Permit Tracker,
are examples of these high-value, low-cost solutions at the City
of Palo Alto. |
| Full-Scale Applications |
Our core work
is the creation of desktop and web-based applications designed
to suit the needs of a specific audience. These applications are
typically map-centric but may also be analysis-centric with map
data used in a secondary role. For example, our Zoom and NetMap
applications focus on the use of an interactive map, while
applications like REDARS, TRUE, and ROME use geographics only in
support of analysis. |
