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

Applications, AI and agent integration

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

  • GeoLibre plugins and custom TypeScript/React applications
  • Backend and Python geospatial microservices
  • GeoAgent, Claude/GPT skills and MCP integrations
  • Notebooks, jobs and analytical APIs
OPERATE

Deployment, release engineering and enablement

Package, secure, monitor, publish and transfer the self-hosted platform into the client’s operating model.

  • Native Linux packages, Docker/Compose and edge profiles
  • Helm/Kubernetes and Terraform integration for an existing cluster
  • GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, registries, SBOMs, signing and checksums
  • Identity, secrets, ingress, observability, backup, recovery, training and handoff

Capability and delivery maturity

Migration scope starts from what is implemented—not from endpoint-name parity.

Professional services can validate implemented surfaces, complete partial paths and build missing adapters. The engagement plan labels those activities differently so a client knows whether it is configuring, testing or developing a capability.

Capability trackCurrent maturityEngagement workAcceptance gate
FeatureServer and dynamic MVTImplemented service surfaces with client/workflow-specific validation still requiredMap schemas and identifiers, configure sources, translate renderers/filters, exercise query/edit paths and tune dynamic tile SQLGolden query results, edit round trips where applicable, visual tile checks, client-version matrix and performance baseline
VectorTileServer, StreamServer and SceneServerImplemented route families whose coverage depends on source profile and consuming clientRegister representative packages/feeds/scenes, configure styles and subscriptions, test reconnect and client-specific behaviorMetadata and resource retrieval, visual/feature correctness, reconnect/failure tests and representative client sign-off
MapServerPartial: directory/metadata and raster-bridge components are present; the full dispatcher was not substantiatedComplete required request routing and rendering operations for the migration scope instead of assuming universal MapServer parityReference GetMap/export outputs, layer/scale/style matrix, error semantics and tested desktop/web clients
Local ImageServerImplemented operation paths with raster/client-specific validation requiredRegister representative local rasters and validate metadata, export, identify, samples, statistics and tile variantsPixel/value, nodata, extent, reprojection, overview, performance and consuming-client tests
Remote object-storage COG → ImageServerIntegration target: HTTP range-reader and ImageServer components exist, but general registration/caller wiring was not substantiatedComplete the endpoint wiring for the selected S3/Azure/GCS HTTPS access pattern, then harden signed-URL and failure behaviorEnd-to-end remote registration, range-request evidence, pixel/value parity, expiry/retry behavior and real-client validation
Application reconstructionProject-specific development, not an automatic converter claimDecode source configuration, preserve portable contracts and deliberately redesign vendor-specific widgets, identity and business logicUse-case scripts, accessibility and responsive checks, security tests, user acceptance and documented exceptions
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 integration

Wire a representative remote COG through the range-reader and ImageServer registration path, then test export, identify, samples, statistics, pixel parity, signed-URL behavior and failure handling.

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.

Field Tools module panel in the client listing Barcode Scanner, Camera Capture, Coordinate Conversion, Field Mapper, Form Builder/Filler, GNSS/GPS, ODK and QField Cloud tools.
