Software Selection

Target and Business value
Help our customers (Business and IT department) and partners to make the right choice when introducing a new GIS solution or migrating an existing GIS solution

Description
– Identify the technology that better fits with the industry functional requirements, the expected performance, the complexity of the data model, and how the solution will be provided to the users (distribution model).
– Collaborate with customer IT organizations to align their technical objectives and business goals with GIS technology

Deliverables
– Assessment (customer requirements and/or current solution)
– Benchmark between candidate technologies (Esri, Open Source, Hexagon, GeoCortex, Bentley) through SWOT analysis, compliance with con KPIs and company policies, cost comparison for implementation, maintenance and licensing
