Customized Support for You

One of the greatest rewards our clients get from working with our services staff is benefiting from the knowledge our staff have of the future direction for all of our software products. They provide customized consulting and design services for the entire suite of today's GIS applications, including requirements analysis, design, development, and implementation, for a wide range of GIS disciplines.

Implementation Services

Keep going

While our clients may well understand the concepts and technology of satellite solution, oftentimes they have little or no experience in the actual implementation of a satellite solution. Our goal is to help our clients move through the implementation process quickly and efficiently, implementing their own system during different stages of development while teaching them about the technology so they can become self-sufficient in the use of satellite solutions.

GEOSAT maintains two distinct implementation programs to support our clients: the Applications Development Center, and Custom Training.

Applications Developing Center

We maintain an Applications Developing Center at our headquarters to provide a GIS studio environment where you can work with specialized GEOSAT training and consulting staff to plan and implement projects using our equipment and facilities. Within this environment, users can focus on the project while tapping our expertise.

Custom Training

Taking elements from established curricula, we also offer customized training support to meet your specific training and implementation needs. We created these programs in response to user needs. Users wanted a flexible program that could help them obtain assistance from various experts. GEOSAT Implementation Services presently supports hundreds of commercial, governmental, and international users and is expanding rapidly. The customization of services and the flexibility of staffing are just a few of the reasons why this program is so popular. Implementation Services will help get your system up and running.
