Geodatabase Implementation New Zealand NZ

Consultancy

EGL has been at the forefront of GIS development and utilisation in New Zealand for the last twenty years. This strong expertise places us in an ideal position to help clients take a strategic, platform independent look at their use of GIS. 

Internal GIS Reviews

Clients often wish to audit the extent of GIS technology within their organisation – in terms of which hardware and software is being used, the appropriateness of the current skills required to get the most from the systems and how the GIS strategy is contributing to overall organisational goals.

Your internal review can include the following key components:

  • Licensing available
  • Users – how many?  What do they do? What is the primary usage?
  • GIS staff
  • Projection systems used
  • Aerial photography availability
  • Customised applications in operation
  • Support infrastructure
  • Integration issues with other systems.

Peer Reviews

Many regional and local government organisations in New Zealand use EGL to benchmark their performance in GIS within their peer group. We are uniquely placed to undertake this comparison study due to our work with more than 30% of the country’s TLAs and our 15 years’ experience of providing this service.

The local government peer review provides a benchmark on:

  • Infrastructure inventory covering software, hardware, staff resources and datasets
  • Utilisation of GIS
  • Application development
  • Strategy and planning.

GIS Strategy Development

The review work is usually followed by the development of a detailed GIS strategy to help clients attain organisational goals. 

This focuses on:

  • The future utilisation of GIS technologies and sets out pathways for how clients can extract maximum value from their systems
  • How to integrate GIS seamlessly into your Information Systems Strategic Plan and daily operations.
