ODNR Selects GeoDecisions for Forest Management Project
June 9, 2006/Harrisburg, Pa.: GeoDecisions, an award-winning leader in the information technology industry specializing in geospatial solutions, was selected by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to support its existing forest management application. When complete, ODNR staff throughout the state will be able to view and analyze forest data from any regional office.
As part of the project, GeoDecisions has partnered with Genus RMT, a company specializing in enterprise resource management technology and services. The firm’s Genus GEO™ and Genus Resources™ products will be modified to meet ODNR specifications and hosted on a secure server with access to regional offices.
The enhancements will establish a single database and application to exchange forest data between regional offices and the central office in Columbus, Ohio. Since regional offices are responsible for the majority of data collection in the state, the single application will synchronize the information available at all ODNR offices.
GeoDecisions will support the project with database design and implementation, as well as developing a publicly accessible ESRI® ArcIMS® information portal that will be shared with ODNR contractors and the general public.
GeoDecisions’ experienced staff of professional consultants, analysts, and developers supports clients across the United States. Fundamental to the company’s award-winning approach is the integration of spatial information to empower existing systems and processes. GeoDecisions’ philosophy is based on an enterprisewide approach to the integration of diverse information technologies, data formats, and systems.
GeoDecisions is ISO 9001:2000 certified for its operations nationwide.
