Process


A Successful Strategy Requires a plan

• Promote a series of events with the intent to investigate your current implementation of GIS in support of your business operations.

• Promote assessment and requirements gathering sessions for the validation of your technology deployment as it relates current industry and vendor related best-practices.

2. Understand where you’re going

3. Identify the barriers
