| Geodesy creates Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solutions for local, state, and federal government agencies and the built environment industries. | |
| Expertise | Geodesy's greatest expertise and interest lie in integrating graphic and non-graphic data via database design and application development. |
| History | The founding partners first worked on Unix- and VAX/VMS-based CAD and GIS software and database development in the 1980s. With the formation of Geodesy in 1992, Windows became the company's primary platform for software and data development. |
| Style | Our working style has evolved over the past two decades from a more formal ISO 9000-based waterfall approach to emphasize an iterative, rapid application development style. This approach has increased client involvement, improved application usability, and amplified project success. |
| Durability | Many of our applications start off as small time-saving or interim stop-gap measures and grow through successive iterations into long standing, central solutions. |
| Efficiency | Geodesy has an extensive toolbox of programming code and techniques to save time and reduce application costs. For example, we use a set of ActiveX and .Net components we call Encompass to quickly assemble GIS applications on top of the Encompass MapEngine or the ArcGIS Engine. |
| Community | Our well established community of clients and business partners leverage one another’s development budgets by contributing towards a shared base of software capabilities. |
| Results | We customize software to our clients’ workflow. It can pay for itself quickly through increased work efficiency, reduced training time, and lower software license costs. |
