GIS Strategic Planning, Management and Consulting Services

Spatial Focus is the leader in GIS management and consulting services.

While Spatial Focus's leadership team has helped to build many GIS systems from the ground-up, we have also worked with many mature systems that have become unfocused or fragmented. Stressing solutions and work processes, we work with the institutional and organizational constraints, as well as the technical issues, to restore success. Whatever the need, from major development to minor renovations, Spatial Focus brings the right solutions.

As we are vendor-independent, we can provide our clients with unbiased, high quality advice. Our broad range of knowledge about the issues of implementing GIS within an organization provides us with the tools and technologies required to deliver cost-effective, practical implementation plans for our clients. Spatial Focus, Inc. delivers standards and specifications tailored to our clients' projects, and assists in managing the procurement process.

We are also available to assist in the day-to-day management of vendors and quality control teams. We can provide training and application development support to assist our clients in maximizing their own efforts.
