The Business Case for Hosted GIS |
 Reduced Dedicated Infrastructure Staff (Systems Administration personnel)
Working with a managed GIS hosting service provider allows the client to use only the person-hours and consulting services needed, leverages existing dedicated GIS hosting capacity and expertise, and provides dedicated 24/7/365 infrastructure management services without adding full-time staff and overhead.
- Reduced Dedicated Technology Staff (GIS personnel)
By working with a qualified GIS consulting firm, the client can scale its GIS team gradually and economically and with a focus on productivity rather than basic infrastructure support. Dedicated ArcGIS, ArcIMS and ArcSDE specialists will be on-call without an increase in head-count.
With complete flexibility, R7 Solutions can provide on-demand services at a moment’s notice, allowing you to allocate hiring and personnel budget to improving your GIS and applications, rather than to supporting peak service demand and specialized, seldom-needed skills.
- Utilize proven “Best of Breed” technologies and practices in GIS
By using R7 Solutions’ managed hosting services, the client gains the benefit of years of real-world experience in the development and support of mission-critical hosted GIS. Rather than re-inventing processes and methods, GIS departments can focus on developing capabilities and bottom line impact.
- Leverage R7 Solutions’ experience.
R7 has many years of experience delivering and managing enterprise GIS applications. Our specialized expertise in GIS, related databases and web technologies, and mobile/field GIS experience minimize project risk. R7 has a proven track record of building, delivering and managing GIS systems, and offers a wealth of knowledge about data sources and implementation pitfalls.
- Predictable system operational costs.
A hosted services model provides a more consistent operational cost structure by outsourcing hardware, software, and data maintenance tasks. Using R7’s hosting services means the client can rely on R7’s technical expertise to provide reliable access to the GIS at a predictable cost. This means less uncertainty and better financial forecasting.
