Tech Maven Geospatial delivery services

Move the data. Preserve the workflows. Build what comes next.

We help organizations inventory geospatial estates, migrate services and databases, reconstruct applications, develop new operational tools and execute phased cutovers with explicit technical acceptance criteria.

Service lines

Professional services tied to concrete deliverables.

Every engagement can stand alone or combine into a modernization program.

ASSESS

Geospatial estate discovery

Crawl service directories, inspect portal content, decode web maps/scenes/apps, inventory databases and files, map dependencies and identify unsupported extensions or hidden coupling.

  • Service and layer inventory
  • Client/application dependency graph
  • Data sensitivity and owner matrix
  • Complexity, risk and wave recommendation
MIGRATE

Data and database migration

Move feature classes, rasters, attachments, relationship classes, domains, subtypes and history into open or target-native stores with reproducible validation.

  • PostGIS, SQL Server, Oracle and file geodatabase paths
  • GeoPackage, GeoParquet, COG and object-store targets
  • GlobalID and relationship preservation
  • Row, geometry and checksum reconciliation
COMPAT

Service contract replacement

Stand up 3DGeoServEngine endpoints that existing applications can exercise before final cutover.

  • FeatureServer query/edit tests
  • Map, vector tile, scene and imagery validation
  • OGC and catalog publication
  • Load, security and failover testing
REBUILD

Application modernization

Reconstruct maps, forms, dashboards and workflows in GeoLibre, the ArcGIS Maps SDK, or a purpose-built client while separating business logic from vendor APIs.

  • Web map and renderer translation
  • Survey123/Field Maps/XLSForm workflows
  • Dashboard and experience applications
  • Responsive and accessible frontend delivery
CREATE

New application development

Design and build mission-specific web, desktop, mobile, data and automation products on the shared service layer.

  • GeoLibre plugin development
  • Custom TypeScript/React applications
  • Go/Python geospatial microservices
  • Notebooks, jobs and analytical APIs
OPERATE

Deployment and enablement

Package, secure, monitor and transfer the platform into the client’s operating model.

  • Native, Docker, on-prem and edge profiles
  • Identity, secrets and reverse proxy integration
  • Runbooks, backup and recovery
  • Admin/developer training and handoff
Migration workbench

What gets translated, preserved or redesigned.

A reliable migration distinguishes portable contracts from platform-specific behavior before implementation begins.

Delivery method

Proof before bulk migration.

A short compatibility pilot should answer the hardest architectural questions before an organization commits to a full estate move.

01 / DISCOVER

Inventory and dependency map

Automated crawl plus stakeholder interviews; classify by protocol, data owner, criticality and migration complexity.

02 / PROVE

Representative vertical slice

Migrate one complex dataset, publish all required endpoints and test real desktop, web, mobile and automation clients.

03 / INDUSTRIALIZE

Repeatable migration factory

Automate transforms, validation reports, service configuration, regression tests and environment promotion.

04 / CUT OVER

Wave execution and stabilization

Dual-run, reconcile deltas, switch consumers, monitor service objectives and retain an agreed rollback window.

Reference pilot

A migration pilot with real technical depth.

The exact scope depends on the estate, but a useful pilot should include more than a read-only map.

DATA

One transactional vector dataset

Domains, GlobalIDs, attachments and related records migrated into the target store.

RAST

One cloud-hosted imagery asset

COG in object storage registered and tested through ImageServer export, identify, samples and statistics.

LIVE

One real-time feed

Normalized into StreamServer with a geofence or threshold rule and observable downstream alert.

APP

One consuming application

Existing application repointed or a GeoLibre workflow reconstructed against the new endpoints.

OPS

One production-like deployment

TLS, auth, rate limits, CORS, health monitoring, backup/restore and documented runbook.

New product development

Use the same platform to build beyond replacement.

Once the service layer is open and interoperable, application teams can focus on domain workflows instead of rebuilding storage, tiling, catalog and identity integration for every project.

FIELD + MOBILE

Offline data collection

XLSForm and custom workflows, attachments, GNSS, sync conflict handling, work orders and resilient field packages.

OPERATIONS

Command and situational awareness

Real-time maps, incident command, mission packages, communications bridges, alerts and after-action review.

DIGITAL TWIN

3D and infrastructure applications

I3S/3D Tiles, BIM, point clouds, indoor models, live sensors and analytical overlays combined into task-specific interfaces.

DATA SCIENCE

Analytical workbenches

Notebook Service, spatial jobs, GeoAgent tools, data-lake query interfaces and publication back to governed services.

Bring the estate you have. Leave with an executable migration plan.
