Maps can tell a story through visualization of geospatial data, and there are countless stories to be told! While GIS involves more than just maps, they are often the first thing that comes to mind when discussing the topic. From functional maps used in the workplace to fun maps, there are so many possibilities. If you have a map idea, I would be happy to work with you to create a customized product that brings your vision to life.
Geospatial data is the backbone of GIS, and without it, GIS is nothing. I offer a range of services related to geospatial data, which are mentioned below.
Asset management is a topic that has gained a lot of attention recently. There are various approaches to asset management, and GIS is an essential one.
Almost everything in GIS can be classified as an asset. For example, a city is comprised of greenspaces, roads, pathways, trees, buildings, utility infrastructure, and so on. All of these features can be regarded as assets. They are evaluated based on their condition, have a specific value, and are crucial to keep track of.
Maintaining your assets in GIS is an excellent way to keep an inventory, which aids in analysis, valuation, condition assessments, location services, and more. There is one catch, the quality of your data. If your data is inaccurate, then your decisions based on that data will be skewed (dirty data in, dirty data out). Therefore, it is crucial to maintain accurate data, and that is where I come in to assist you!
Why It Matters and How We Can Help
Addressing is a vital part of everyday life that often goes unnoticed. Assigning unique numbers to physical locations enables us to navigate and find places efficiently. But addressing is far from arbitrary, it follows established rules and guidelines to ensure consistency and accuracy. When these standards are not followed, confusion and errors can arise, affecting everything from deliveries to emergency response.
With extensive experience dating back to 2013, we specialize in guiding municipalities and organizations through the complexities of addressing. Recently, we partnered with the City of Maple Ridge in British Columbia to prepare their addressing data for the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) system. Since their existing addresses were not in point format, we created accurate address points from parcel data, building a reliable foundation from scratch.
Do you have incomplete or “dirty” address data, or no address data at all within your GIS? Are you looking for expert help to prepare your data for
NG9-1-1? We’re here to support you.
Accurate, up-to-date addressing can save lives - emergency responders depend on precise location data to reach people in critical situations. Thanks to the federal NG9-1-1 initiative, the future of addressing is improving, and it’s essential that all municipalities prioritize accurate and consistent addressing practices.
There are so many uses for GIS. If you do not see the service you are looking for, please contact me and we can discuss how I can be of assistance.
