Quality Control and Quality Assurance

Quality is the key to any information system. A GIS constructed with poor quality or unchecked data is suspect and, frequently, little used. Maximizing return on information investments requires building quality assurance into the entire process. Spatial Focus is a leader in the development of quality control processes for digital orthophotography, cadastral, planimetric, and topographic mapping. Spatial Focus offers a spectrum of quality control services to meet the needs of each individual client.
