Enabling Decisions with Location in Mind
Bringing over 25 years of experience in GIS services for commercial, local, and federal customers, we aim to provide exceptional location-based solutions for our clients.
Whether it be app development, desktop enhancements, enterprise data management, spatial analysis, or web development, we have cost-effective approaches to solve your business needs.
For over two decades, our staff brings experience providing GIS services to organizations small and large. These range from the US Marine Corps, NGA, NOAA, the US Navy, small, medium, and large municipalities, transportation agencies, and for-profit commercial customers.
Federal
Areas of expertise include all technical and program-related aspects of the DOD IGI&S industry, including SDSFIE data modeling, enhanced quality control with Data Reviewer, data center management, custom web applications, and more. Additionally, other federal focus areas include DOD Command and Control (C2), real property reconciliation, range and training GIS, real estate summary maps (RESM), and maritime GIS for NGA Digital Nautical Charts (DNC®), and NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC®).
Municipal
With staff having supported both large and small local governments, Terran knows their unique needs. We offer a free-of-charge needs assessment for all local governments and have preconfigured templates for ArcGIS Online and Portal, to help municipalities going mobile. We also provide enterprise GIS services for local governments, and with recent developments for state and local governments focused on COVID and the 2020 Census, we offer GIS solutions for public health awareness and redistricting.
Commercial
We have supported several private organizations with geospatial solutions over the years. Recently, we've been automating workflows to streamline the production of plat books, using Esri geoprocessing combined with Python development, decreasing production time and labor tenfold. We also have history building iOS and Android native applications, responsive mobile web GIS viewers, JavaScript map viewers, national parcel and base layer GIS databases, and cloud and portal implementations.
GIS. It’s Where It’s At.
Terran’s mission is to first focus on completely understanding a customer’s daily work efforts, and then use that knowledge to provide the most efficient technical solutions to streamline their own mission. At our core, we believe our success is directly tied to our client’s success.
In the commercial sector, we want to see our clients’ businesses grow; in the government sector, we want to see our clients freed up to be able to focus on new projects. They bring us the problem to solve; we bring the expertise to solve it.
Using Spatial Information to Streamline Decision-Making
Most organizations – whether they realize it or not – would be better off if they looked at solving their problems through a spatial lens. Knowing where to buy a new piece of property, or locating a new cell tower, or figuring out a place to locate a new school or hospital – all of these decisions actually have a “best” answer; it’s just a matter of integrating the right data points. This is where GIS comes in.
It was not the case 20 years ago that data was abundant, but nowadays, reliable data layers exist for virtually everything under the sun. Layers such as parcel property values, 3D terrain, density and height of vegetation, and the population density of cell phone users in a given area – all once overlaid and spatial analysis is performed, this goes a long way to determine the answer to that simple cell tower question. Using GIS and the right data, you can actually find the absolute best place to locate that next tower. And that is just one of a million examples of how GIS can help a business gain a competitive edge.
Whether it’s determining the most efficient and cost-effective route in the logistics industry, the safest locations to visit in a society dealing with a pandemic, the best investment for real estate, or almost anything else you can think of, GIS typically enables people to make better-informed decisions, when the science is applied properly.
