Understanding the organizational and technical challenges of developing an Enterprise level GIS, IBI approaches GIS planning that encourages each corporate department to identify common business activities and processes with other departments.   Moreover, IBI provides our customer various ways for increasing value with their GIS business objectives.   By asking appropriate questions and developing comprehensive requirements, IBI can help you clearly define the scope of organizational and technical work for optimal GIS utilization. IBI uses defined templates, decision matrices, and detailed specifications for a consummate Enterprise GIS solution.

Through IBI’s Enterprise GIS modeling, we design a shared, centralized geodata repository which permits rapid integration and dynamic synchronization of diverse GIS data. Our Enterprise GIS solution parallels the distributed and client-server n-tier architecture for data collection, processing and distribution to users at multiple, separate locations.  GIS users are provided easy, equivalent access to all multi-departmental GIS applications and their business logic. With an Enterprise GIS design, users of geodata are relieved of the frequent loss of productivity in the querying, compilation and integration of their target data.

IBI can then work closely with Managers to develop a Phased Implementation Approach. Such an approach delivers tangible results within a shorter time period. IBI follows a rigorous project methodology in the development and implementation of a centralized database, customized viewers to serve various departments, data management processes, and oversight groups. IBI will provide training and ongoing support to the organization as it expands in an effort to meet its GIS goals. IBI has shown the following benefits through their Enterprise GIS planning and integration services:

	Shared Enterprise repository with multi-departmental access
	Increasing productivity, security, data accessibility and data synchronicity
	Improving interdepartmental communications
	Provide online, web access for consolidated geodata retrieval
	Scalability, reduced redundancy and inherent cost reductions
