Many companies and government agencies rely on GIS data for planning and decision-making. Whether you’re an arborist analyzing the future of cherry trees impacted by rising sea levels in Washington, DC, or an epidemiologist trying to predict the next disease hot spot, GIS information can provide details about history, topography, population, and much more.
Much of this GIS data is free and publicly available but tapping into it and analyzing it in a meaningful way can be complex, time consuming, and costly, often requiring expensive software licenses, such as ArcGIS, or the need for a team of developers to access the data. Or getting to the heart of what you need with a free solution like QGIS means sifting through a mountain of information to find your very small yet very significant mole hill.
Think Beyond the Map
Unlocking GIS data doesn’t have to be like hunting for buried treasure or an oasis in the desert. Working with our clients we identified the struggle to transform geographic information into usable data that can be merged, clustered, and analyzed. With PALMS—Polygon Alignment for Layered Map Systems—IntelliDyne has developed user-friendly GIS software that simplifies data analysis and visualization. Now you can extract the potential of a wide range of data from coordinates to addresses without the need for pricey, complicated tools or an army of analysts. This also prepares this complex data for more traditional analytics as well as advanced AI and machine learning.
PALMS layers complex polygons of data (census, geology, water and drainage, soil, minerals, wildlife, and much more) into an intuitive visual snapshot that can be stood up in under three months, either in your environment or the cloud. PALMS requires minimal support, and additional features can be layered on once the framework is in place.
Imagine the ability to visualize potential sinkholes before they occur, predict how road construction will affect sewage and drainage systems, or identify the best land for specific crops. During development of the framework the team created a dashboard to show at risk cherry trees for salt water intrusion based on an article concerning the removal of over 100 trees. This is the power of PALMS.
Traditional GIS Is the Past – The Future Is in Your Palm
