We’ll help develop and implement plans for managing your multiple data types. Project data is like ivy. If properly planned for, groomed and managed it is a great asset to a landscape. If allowed to grow unchecked and unmanaged it will quickly overtake and choke off other plants, even trees. We have special experience and expertise in developing plans and managing project data. We can help develop and implement plans for managing the multiple data types inherent in large infrastructure and development projects involving significant environmental and regulatory planning work. Some Typical Data Types Include:   GIS (Spatial)data layers   Resource specific data   Field gathered data   Survey data   Documents   Imagery   Tabular data in many forms   We can help in all of the following areas: 1. Develop strategic data management plan (DMP) We will guide and assist you in creating a data management plan tailored to your specific service and project requirements. Your database will not be just a static repository for your project essential data, but a powerful working tool that will be accessed daily and relied on by the project team to hit critical milestones much more efficiently. In addition, a well executed DMP will save you money by setting the stage for effective data reuse on other projects. Here are some of the critical, project team needs that will be addressed by a data management plan:   Central data repository to avoid versioning       conflicts and errors   Store multiple data types at one location with       accurate version control   View, update and work with multiple project       and software application data types   Broad access for all authorized team       members, from technicians to project       managers   Platform independent, browser based access       with custom input tools 2. Implement the data management plan We will implement and execute any or all of the following elements of your data management plan:   Build/code a user interface customized for your       project   Gather, convert and integrate all of your base       and project data   Extend and optimize your data in new and       innovative ways   Host the database   Administer and maintain the software,       hardware, and data structure   Provide training or support if you prefer to host       the database internally
