Geospatial Technology Services
Geographic information system is the cornerstone of geospatial technology. Sapphos Environmental, Inc. provides GIS services, along with global positioning system (GPS) technology and a full range of geospatial data analysis capability.
GIS allows users to view and analyze multiple layers of data that are linked to a specific location. This ability to view and analyze data spatially allows users to compare alternative scenarios, see potential impacts at a glance, develop solutions, and make decisions that would not be possible using tabular data and paper maps. Sapphos Environmental, Inc. creates GIS databases for clients and assists them in querying, displaying, modeling, and analyzing GIS data to make smarter strategic planning and resource management decisions.
Geospatial technology services encompass a range of activities:
- Environmental resource mapping and data management
