Our Competitive Advantage
WordSmart's staff has experience using GIS technologies from the major
software manufacturers. We know the strengths and weaknesses of those
technologies and will help you select the software environment that is best
matched to your business. We look at both the breadth and depth of each
manufacturer's offerings as they relate to your business.
WordSmart assists organizations in the selection, evaluation, and procurement of GIS services and products.
- GIS Needs Assessments
- We interview each department within a business to determine customer needs and interdepartmental input and output constraints.
- Implementation Planning
- We develop phased implementation plans that help ensure successful
projects. We include all components of GIS implementation from
hardware and software to staff training.
We will pay attention to data quality, software integration, hardware
requirements, staffing and training, and management processes.
WordSmart's team of GIS and management consultants have worked on Needs Assessments and Implementation for seven municipal government agencies and utilities companies in the past three years. Our approach is to let our clients' business processes drive the technology requirements rather than the other way around.
WordSmart has compared technologies from the major software manufacturers in the world. So when we recommend a technology, it will not be because it is the only one that we know anything about, it will be because it is the best all-around solution for your entire organization. Moreover, we will explain in detail each criterion on which we will make our decisions. And we want you to be involved in decisions for you.
- Project Management
- We will manage your GIS implementation project with time and cost in mind. We will keep you informed every step of the way.
