For creation of routable maps for handheld navigation devices, the project objectives were as following: creation of base/detailed map; development of raster maps for higher-end models of handheld GPS units: referencing and calibration of custom raster maps with a very fine scanning resolution; maintenance of network topology; POI database update and maintenance.
A leading mapping company needed help creating an efficient call center structure to continuously verify and update data entries in their existing POI database, which contained millions of location based records. They were adding new places to their database, but lacked the sufficient language capabilities and personnel to successfully verify all new data entries coming from all over the world. They were looking for a partner with extensive languages capabilities, who had an affordable and scalable model that would allow expansion based on their business needs.
There was scarcely a blank space on the European map of client’s data base. To concur with global competitors, the company was sorely in need of quick and quality update of their parking coverage in Europe and then keep all data up to date. They had launched separate department to handle European database from the beginning to the very end. Newly established department had no experience of managing large teams which would require to perform all the work. The processes they followed were simple and fine for a small team of a family type but new task required another approach. Additional challenge was that the task specifics and a tool itself were completely new for anyone, so there were no ideas how to estimate timelines.
Project objective was to develop and implement a Web GIS solution that accelerates the process of spatial data collection, analysis and verification of the client’s GIS department.
In order to produce high quality map data, the client’s GIS department needed a universal web GIS tool that would collect data from different providers of spatial data services. The tool had to be able to synchronize the data with the client’s existing application.
A leading provider of navigable maps needed to perform spatial analysis on a large amount of data in order to deliver high quality map services to its customers. The existing application used during the client’s production did not support automatic data analysis and was not able to synchronize data with existing GIS systems. To solve these challenges, they needed a reliable partner with experience in building complex GIS solutions.

Commercial vs. Open Source: A comparison of GIS Software
We are conditioned to think that high price equals high value. Because of this, we always assume that something we’ve paid for is better than something free. But is that true in every case?
