Contracting GIS services appeals to many organizations
operating in the current business environment. Both the public and the
private sectors wish to improve their GIS performance. Contracting GIS
services to consultants takes advantage of the portability of their
collective tactical GIS experience, their programming expertise, and their
contacts.
Some organizations currently with GIS capability are having difficulty
keeping up with current programming and hardware requirements. Additionally,
the highly specialized GIS staff required can be problematic to establish,
supervise and maintain.
Contracting GIS services to consultants can place organizations at the top of
a progressive learning curve immediately, at a relatively low cost.
