Project Example: In-house GIS audit and training
Objective:
Identify shortfalls in an Organisation’s GIS procedures.
How:
Terralab conducted an in-house, full-scale GIS audit. This involved working with the client to discuss any known issues and identify all other issues potentially unknown to the client. We analysed everything from systems management and database design to interoperability options, even third-party product choices focusing on identifying opportunities to improve efficiencies, and identifying data risks. GIS users were then trained in the new or modified procedures.
Results:
The client not only benefitted from existing issues being resolved but was able to avoid future roadblocks due to the audit outcomes. The cost of the audit process was more than offset by the efficiencies identified.The client is now able to utilise more functionality from third party services they were already paying for. GIS training followed the audit.
Project Example: Up-skilling consultants
Objective:
Improve the GIS literacy and capabilities of a team of terrestrial ecologists.
How:
TerraLab coordinated a group training session on premise for the consultants. This was done by demonstrating the workflows that the consultants used on a large display and talking through some of the processes.
Results:
By grouping the consultants together into one room, the client was able to keep costs down. The session was collaborative and any sticking points were able to be worked through in more detail for the benefit of the team. At the end of the session the team felt comfortable with the subject matter that had been addressed and began booking follow up GIS training sessions.
