FROM OUR CLIENT

“I needed external assistance to develop a Spatial Infrastructure Strategy for a couple of reasons.  Firstly I wanted to know how the GIS team had been performing.  Because I had worked in our small organisation for a number of years, I personally wasn’t able to conduct a non-biased appraisal of how well we were serving our clients.  Secondly I needed a steer for what projects we should be focusing on over the next few years and the recommended best practice methods to get there. GBS had the knowledge, experience and the people with the right personalities to come in, ask the questions and document a strategy that has provided the direction I required.”
