SUCCESS STORY

Expert Support for a Utilities Provider

Experts
Access to system experts allowed the GoConnectIT domain experts to concentrate on the end solution.
Spatial Data Handling
Saved money by negating the need for internal training to understand spatial data handling.
Standardised Maps
GeoServer and SLD expertise allowed construction of standard maps for end users.
