GIS
AMEC is a proven leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and database services. We provide the integration of mainstream databases, GIS, and state-of the-art communications to fulfill the most difficult data management and data analysis projects.
AMEC designs and builds custom software and databases, creates and analyzes geographic data, and helps major organizations plan for their information technology needs. AMEC intertwines a technology vision with a firm understanding of environmental and engineering principles.
Vision
Built into our services is the goal of developing systems that provide value within your organization. We accomplish this by knowing how the technology works and identifying how it fits with your organization. As a result, we create a vision that allows for growth within the boundaries and constraints of the organization and technology. As the internet plays a larger role in data use and accessibility, AMEC is building systems to help companies capitalize on these efficiencies without exceeding their budgets.
AMEC approaches GIS as the integration of graphic and non-graphic data into a common database. Non-graphic data such as records, forms, and reports are cross-referenced with graphical data such as maps, drawings and pictures. This type of cross-referencing provides a link that is missing in traditional non-graphic environments. Using this process, AMEC develops databases that are accurate, accessible, and valuable to its users.
AMEC is committed to client service and proves it through the following:
- Building partnerships with clients
- Developing cost effective solutions
- Delivering on or ahead of schedule
- Maintaining that only a quality product is acceptable
- Establishing strong program and project management teams
- Committing to client satisfaction
