GIS Rollout

GIS systems let you author data and maps and serve them out to a number of different applications, such as a desktop GIS client, a browser or even a mobile device.

Desktop GIS

Desktop applications are the heart of any GIS rollout. They are used to author the data that the system's users will visualise, query and analyse in order to make business decisions.  They also contain a full range of spatial analysis tools useful in solving many business problems. 

Traditionally used by specialists, the huge efforts undertaken in recent years by GIS software vendors to make desktop GIS applications easier for the non-specialist to use have led to desktop GIS tools now being viewed as an essential component of many organisation's petroleum geoscience professional's toolkit.

We have considerable experience in implementing solutions based on desktop GIS technology, including ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Explorer, ER Mapper, MapInfo and TNT Mips.

Server GIS

Much attention has been focused over the past decade on developing GIS functionality using web-based server technology.  Server GIS can distribute maps, data and analysis to a large number of users in a simple and effective way, via a web-browser.

The challenge of web-based GIS lies in creating systems that are platform independent, run on open TCP/IP-based networks and support multiple web browsers, adopting server-side or client-side strategies.

At Exprodat we have considerable experience in implementing web-based or server GIS technology, including ESRI's ArcGIS (comprising ArcSDE, ArcGIS Server and ArcIMS).
