If you are new to GIS or perhaps at the point where you want to scale your implementation to a Corporate System we can help you define a roadmap for the implementation of GIS within your organisation.
GIS often grows in an organisation from the bottom up. Usually this growth is fuelled by an enthusiastic Professional who is simply trying to get the job done or a Champion who can see the powerful business, social and environmental benefits that can accrue to the organisation.
Whichever you are, we can help you overcome some common issues in GIS implementation by way of our Strategic Consulting services. These issues generally include IT issues as to how to scale the technology, Information Management issues as to the quality, currency, and security of information, and Business Process issues such as who is responsible for spatial information, who needs access to spatial information and for what purpose.
If you are starting out on a GIS implementation you probably want to avoid these issues and you may well have some additional ones such as building a business case for GIS, planning a GIS implementation as well as knowledge transfer and training.
ESRI Ireland employ 30 professional staff most of whom have a background in applied GIS, software development, database technology, technical infrastructure project management or business analysis.
