Tier 3, Inc. To Offer Enhanced Data Conflation Solution to Utility and Telecommunication Markets
Printer Friendly
As utility and telecommunication companies look to deploy integrated business and GIS applications (such as work management, GPS, and mobile/field technologies) to better meet the demands of their business as well as meet regulatory requirements, they also want to leverage legacy investments in technology and data and look to standardize data where it makes sense. Many GIS applications now require higher levels of spatial (horizontal) accuracy in their data to fully realize available operational benefits and improve the expected return on investment. However, much of the existing GIS facility data were originally placed relative to a street centerline network derived from small-scale maps resulting in horizontal accuracies that can be off by several hundred feet in many areas. Having known inaccuracies like these severely limits how and when these future applications can be used.
Tier 3 has enhanced its proprietary data conflation methodology and software “tool-kit” to improve performance and increase flexibility in spatially re-locating existing GIS facility data to higher accuracy land base and centerline network products. Our solution is highly automated and offers our clients a mechanism to quickly and effectively improve the spatial accuracy of their existing GIS data enabling them to properly deploy and support future applications. Please stop by and see us at the GITA Conference (Exhibit Booth 348) for a demonstration of our data conflation solution.
Tier 3 is a professional services firm that provides a full range of business and technology consulting services, specializing in geospatial (GIS) technologies. Our GIS service offering includes strategic consulting, needs assessment, system design and architecture, database design, GIS application development, enterprise GIS integration, business process optimization, data services, quality assurance, GIS application support and maintenance, program management, and staff augmentation for GIS / IT technical and management resources. Our primary markets that we serve include electric / gas utilities, broadband / cable TV, telecommunications, local and state government. For more information, please visit www.tier3-inc.com.
