Our Approach to Serving You Best
- We are healivly influenced by Roger Tomlinson's project planning process, which starts with defining the organization’s purpose and what mission GIS can fulfill. Even on small projects, if we don't know the strategic purpose of your project, we will ask!
- Then we want to understand and articulate the information products your information system will need to produce, and who is using that information to make decisions.
- If we had to name our project style, it would be a spiral methodology. Agile is a bit to unstructured, and classic waterfalls are hardly ever real. We work on prototypes, then improve and test, and we are done when the tools produce the information products. Oh, and when our documentation to you is awesome.

ArcGIS Pro Tasks
Tasks are a good choice for standardizing workflows. Tasks can walk you through a series of steps in a consistent manner, while still allowing significant user interaction with map data, tables, and prompts
ArcGIS Pro Addin Design and Development
Add-ins are authored using .NET along with Esri’s Desktop Application Markup Language (DAML)—an XML language created by Esri. DAML describes the customizations; .NET classes provide the custom behavior. Add-ins customize the user interface, providing a new tool or set of tools that appears on the Add-In ribbon tab, other tabs, or other areas of the application such as custom panes
