For GIS technology to work to its full potential, it is essential to have the intelligence to understand and work with the IT environment as a whole.

Spatial technology is just a sub-set of an ever more complex IT totality. Successful implementation and customisation requires an understanding of the client’s entire environment.

This premise underpins the work of GDC’s Consultancy and Technical Services Group (C&TS), which brings together experts from different sectors, possessing knowledge of diverse technologies and disciplines.

C&TS work with clients to ensure that systems have a scalable and future-proofed architecture. Once everything is up and running, they are on hand to refine or expand the system whenever the need arises - in other words to continue providing a standard of service that carries the GDC hallmark.
