NWGIS Capabilities/Services

Technical Capabilities

Expertise

NWGIS personnel have extensive experience using the ArcGIS family of software products. We have an in-depth knowledge of ArcMap, Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, and VBA programming and have received many hours of specialized training in the use of ArcGIS software. In addition to GIS, Greg Konkel has more than 25 years of computer programming and database experience, including Oracle, SQL Server, MS Access, and Visual Studio .NET.

Equipment

NWGIS has the hardware and software resources needed to work with digital data in either raster format (e.g., image data, digital terrain models) or vector format (e.g., thematic, planimetric maps) to build the GIS data layers typically needed for environmental and engineering studies, land use planning, and other applications of GIS. We also have large-format digitizing, scanning, and plotting capabilities.

The services we provide fall generally into four categories, although there is considerable overlap between them:

Data Services

	Digitizing from source media
	Tracking down and incorporating off-the-shelf geographic data
	Converting anything geographic into clean GIS layers
	Building well-organized project geodatabases

Spatial Analysis

	Combining GIS data layers and performing complex operations
	Applying GIS to watershed analysis and hydrologic studies
	Using Spatial Analyst for data modeling and to derive new data layers

Cartography

	More than 235 small maps for reports and 100 large wall maps produced
	Award-winning maps that are functional and aesthetically pleasing

Programming

	Customizing ArcMap applications with macros and VBA programming
	Building client-server database applications in MS Access, SQL Server, and Visual Studio .NET
