Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Services
Recent advancements in handheld computing, GPS technology, and
wireless communications have made mobile GIS a vital tool for organizations striving to keep enterprise data current and allow field workers maximum flexibility.
Through the use of PDAs, mobile phones, and notebook computers in the field, organizations can add real-time (and near real-time) spatial and tabular information
to their enterprise databases thus speeding up analysis and decision making.
Habitat Management, Inc. (HMI) has extensive experience designing, developing, and maintaining mobile GIS systems using ArcPad 8.x and ArcGIS Server Mobile 9.3. Our services provide the following end-user applications and information processing tools:
Mobile GIS
Our Mobile GIS development includes custom forms and processes for data entry/management running on mobile end-user devices.
Our solutions allow field users to collect, view, and update GIS data in the field. Using industry standard application development
tools, our developers will build mobile applications that fit your workflow and meet your end user’s needs.
GIS Server Tools
Currently, many field workers using mobile GIS are collecting data in a ‘disconnected’ state from the enterprise server.
This is due to limited WiFi and/or 3G cellular service. At HMI, we are experts at managing the synchronization of cached data
on mobile devices with databases and map services running on an enterprise server. We offer GIS Data Sync software GeoMerge,
that automates the check-in/check-out process to and from an SDE database. HMI can develop custom software tools for (ArcPad/ArcGIS Server)
to meet our clients specific needs.
automates the check-in/check-out process betweeen cached data collected in field devices.

Networking Tools
HMI provides custom middleware applications that link wired or wireless devices to services
and data managed on the GIS server. These applications, installed on mobile devices,
initiate a connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, ActiveSync) with the server and manage the upload and download of
spatial and tabular data.
HMI has developed mobile applications and services for a wide variety of industries.
We have extensive experience with developing mobile systems for environmental compliance in the mining
and oil & gas industries as depicted above.
