Richmond, Va. – October 3, 2011 – Timmons Group, a leader in enterprise geospatial products and services, announced today that an article entitled “Geospatial Data Collection: From the Field to the Cloud,” was published in the September issue of GeoWorld magazine and subsequently published on the website GeoPlace.com on October 1.
The article focuses on the considerations and trends when developing or migrating targeted applications, designed for field data collection, to the “cloud”. Building applications in the cloud doesn’t have to be a singular strategic approach. In many cases, organizations that have an existing enterprise infrastructure might want to consider use cases or opportunities for applications that could be "pushed" to the cloud. Software licensing, support and hardware upgrade costs typically are considerations when requirements for a new application are presented for funding. Gerecke discusses a real-world case study that solves several challenges associated with field data collection and highlights a solution that is both inherently scalable, real-time, and consolidated with the added advantage of removing the challenges of internal hosting, support, post-processing, and disparate field databases.
