about Mapjoin Technologies

    Since the introduction of reasonably priced "Desktop GIS" software, an
ever expanding group of new users has emerged. Mapjoin Technologies
is a GIS services company, offering personalized solutions. The
business model reflects my belief that the companies long-term success
is directly related to client satisfaction. If your looking for ideas or already
using the technology, Mapjoin Technologies can help. Desktop GIS
packages, such as ESRI's Arcview ( 3.x or 8.x), incorporate a
sophisticated set of tools and complex geographic principles that can be
quite challenging, even for GIS professionals. Mapjoin Technologies is
focused on objective consultation services, aimed at helping clients get
the most from their GIS investment. For example, it may be preferable to
use and/or train employees, what are the possibilities? The Internet
provides access to many public and private resources, are you using
them? Also, there are many existing and developing techniques available
for data enhancement or manipulation, can they save you money? A
commitment, to personalized technology solutions, yields professional
recommendations from a client perspective. You get analysis, options,
and advice based on your goals and budget. GIS development does not
demand a large work force. It does involve considerable research &
careful planning with respect to feasibility, software capabilities, and user
expectations.
    In many cases, a GIS implementation is likely to span several years,
making design flexibility and problem solving important issues. Custom
programming is a key aspect of Mapjoin Technologies' GIS development
strategy. Depending on the nature of a project and the nuances of your
organization, Avenue, VB/VBA, and a smattering of other programming
languages can be used to automate repetitive tasks, create user-friendly
workspaces, and in other ways that significantly reduce overall project
cost.
    Ultimately, a GIS implementation is aimed at the end-users, their ability to
make better decisions and do their jobs more effectively, thereby
increasing productivity. It is probably not realistic to hope for an out-of-box
GIS solution anytime soon, but solutions are available. Speaking as the
owner/operator, I am personally devoted to providing GIS services suited
to the client, with a firm belief that low overhead, a personal commitment
to quality service, and competitive rates, make Mapjoin Technologies the
right choice now and for the future.
