GIS Consultancy Services

GeoSolveIT is an independent, provider of GIS consultancy services. Because of this, GeoSolveIT is ideally placed to help you throughout your project, from defining the business case and setting a roadmap, right through to helping your business successfully implement GIS. Indeed, all our projects will in some way have a consultancy element to them, as we are keen to work with you and make sure you have the right technologies, business workflow and processes, data management environment and the necessary skills to ensure the sustainability and success of your project.

As 'trusted advisors', our consultants have many years of experience supporting a range of organisations - from a few days consultancy, through to  enterprise-wide deployments over many months - where our experience is invaluable to helping ensure that you benefit from our expertise, crucially working with your users to ensure their use cases are fully understood and these needs are met.  Since GeoSolveIT is not a software vendor, but maintains awareness of the leading providers of GIS technologies, we bring a wide knowledge of the market place and an independence of viewpoint that is ideally suited to help you clarify your project needs, explain your options and help you to decide on the right pathway to successfully implementing mapping technologies in your organisation. Through these services, we have helped our clients including delivery of award winning projects and national agreements for the use of spatial data, such as the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.

Our GIS consulting services include:

Developing the business case Hardware and software architectures
Business requirements and supporting process design Preparation of all your technical documentation, including requirements specification
Selecting your preferred technologies Procurement of the solution
Spatial data capture/management solutions Management of the implementation

Within the project life-cycle, a key decision relates to which technology to use. This can often be a difficult choice, with many competing technologies and considerations. At GeoSolveIT we have consultants with the necessary experience to act as trusted advisors to support you in these decisions. We seek to work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and only then recommend a preferred technology. The recommendation will include consideration of:

  • The business and information needs of your organisation;
    The functional needs to deliver the required business outcomes;
    The technology architecture and associated component software needed to deliver a solution;

Quite often the non-functional elements will weigh more strongly in the outcome as to which technology to choose. For example, how will the technology integrate into your existing business, how will the existing resources and capability support a specific technology offering, how scalable is it and how easy to alter and develop the solution are typical issues that GeoSolveIT can answer.
