Strategic Planning
Strategic Geospatial Planning is an important, but often overlooked, aspect of an organization’s operations. Strategic planning ensures that operations and policies are aligned to meet current and future needs. Such planning can include developing strategies and policies with regard to hiring and skills development, technology integration, application development, data sharing, standards, and more. NLT is experienced in identifying key opportunities for improving efficiency, capability, and outcomes through strategic planning to ensure Geospatial goals are realized.
Needs Assessment & Requirements Gathering
Needs assessment & requirements gathering involves closely examining an organization’s needs, capabilities, and operations in order to design, implement, and improve Geographic Information Systems and capacity. Synthesis of this information enables organizations to take advantage of key human and technological assets while improving deficiencies. NLT is highly experienced in conducting such assessments quickly and economically to aid organizations in building and implementing sustainable solutions.

Data Services
Collection, Creation
The utility of Geographic information used in visualization and decision making is based on the quality of how it is collected and created. NLT has extensive experience in collecting and creating mission-critical datasets for a variety of uses and organizations. Examples include remotely sensed imagery-based feature extraction, GPS field data collection, parcel and planimetrics delineation, street and transportation networks development, formation of 3D urban models, creation of derived or statistical raster and vector thematic datasets, and more. Contact us about your data collection needs.
Conversion, Migration
Converting or migrating large complex databases from one model to another can be a daunting. Careful planning and use of advanced tools can improve quality, efficiency, and prevent pitfalls. NLT is highly experienced in designing and executing successful migration plans for an organization’s most challenging data conversion requirements, including for Geospatial and other multi-dimensional databases. Contact one of our specialists directly about your migration needs.
Quality Assurance and Control
To guarantee high-quality data products and applications, trained personnel and well-designed procedures and systems are required at every stage where there is potential to introduce data errors including collection, creation, standardization, integration, analysis, and presentation. Through quality standards, such as Six Sigma, and use of innovative visualization and monitoring tools, NLT offers unique capabilities in developing and managing quality assurance plans and systems for an organization’s most critical data and applications. Contact NLT to learn more about our Quality Assurance capabilities and how we can help you.
Spatial Database Design, Implementation
The design of a spatial database greatly influences its analytical and presentation capability, usage and storage capacity, interoperability, manageability, performance, and other aspects.
