Rivac LabsTechnical Consultant
A geospatial program with unclear direction burns budget on tools nobody uses and data nobody trusts. This service puts an experienced GIS strategist in the room to audit your current data, software licenses, and workflows against what your business actually needs three phases from now, not just the next sprint. We map out where Esri, open-source, or a hybrid stack makes financial and technical sense, and sequence the migration so each phase pays for the next. The result is a roadmap your internal team, leadership, and vendors can all point to and execute against without re-litigating the same architecture debates every quarter.

- 1
Audit existing GIS infrastructure, licensing, data holdings, and team skillsets against stated business goals

Prototype a lightweight scoring model to compare Esri, FOSS4G, and hybrid architecture options on cost and capability
- 3
Walk findings through a working session with stakeholders to pressure-test assumptions before locking the roadmap
- 4
Publish a phased technology roadmap with budget ranges, dependencies, and go/no-go checkpoints for each phase
