Geospatial & Information Management

From Data to Insights — Leveraging Spatial Technology for Informed Decision-Making

As the amount of data generated and available continues to grow exponentially, so does the need for managing and leveraging data to make informed decisions. Our geospatial and information management practice helps clients develop new, tailored approaches to data acquisition, processing and management that improve data accessibility and application during project development and delivery.

Our geospatial professionals focus on a project’s overall purpose and design data-driven tools. From mapping and spatial analytics to interactive websites and mobile applications, our GeoIM teams work closely with planning, engineering, economics and stakeholder engagement professionals to develop a data management system that informs and supports the project development life cycle.
