Our strategic consulting helps business leaders and government organizations identify and realize the value that spatial data and geospatial technologies can add to their businesses.
Strategic consulting consists of various steps that are driven by the nature of business of each organization, which includes data gathering through research, surveys and/or interviews, hypothesis-testing, (fact-based) data analysis, setting up a recommendation and subsequently presenting the advice to client management.
The implementation of the strategy – known as ‘strategy execution’ – involves translating strategies to action plans and implementing these plans within the organization, including areas such project management and benefit realization.
We provide end-to-end enterprise solution development services on ESRI’s ArcGIS platform, starting from requirements analysis and enterprise architecture to implementation.
Our architects will step in and help you identify and make appropriate technical decisions that is right for your needs and budget, increase user productivity, and balance system performance for any scale of GIS, from a single department to intercontinental deployments.
Utilization and timely upgrade of your existing geospatial requires specialized skills, and our technical team can review your current hardware, software, and network infrastructure along with your goals and operational workflow requirements to:
Select the right system environment, including evaluating a cloud environment.
Build appropriate system capacity.
Optimize system performance, reliability, and security
Develop scalable and extensible applications and databases.
We will also provide infrastructure support strategies to prepare for future GIS implementations so that your system grows as you grow.
GIS has long been an industry that was accessible and viable for organizations with significant financial capacity, like governments. However, in today’s world, geospatial solutions are used by startups to corporates, in addition to governments. Availability of Open Source based geospatial technologies has been one of the key reasons for this positive shift in the industry.
Aflex GIS always ensured that we are not locked into a specific technology or vendor, rather we have the full spectrum of technologies available to us to mix and match as appropriate for the particular client or project at hand.
We were quick to adopt and promote open source GIS and have built up significant technical capacity. Please refer to the technology matrix for details our technical skillset on open source GIS technologies.
GIS is all around data, and how well spatial data is modeled would determine how effective GIS would be as a business tool. Data is the differentiating factor between geospatial technology projects and mainstream technology projects. We do understand spatial data and have been through a substantial number of projects, dealing with data in a number of different verticals.
We use industry leading modeling tools and techniques for guiding the organization through articulating spatial features that are important to the business. We go through a rigorous process of analyzing this data captured and builds model that is best fit for the business features.
Nearly all enterprise geospatial application projects spend 40-60% of the project budget for building generic map presentation and management functionalities. AflexMap is a well thought-out map framework that includes all such common features and much more. It has advanced map presentation capabilities and integrates seamlessly in high volume and multi-technology solution projects.
