Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer systems used to store, manipulate and display geographically referenced information (i.e., data identified according to their geographic locations). GIS technology is a very effective information management tool that can be used to assist resource managers, facility managers and development planners and is used within the our software architecture.

ENKON's staff provide a range of services aimed at supporting the design of efficient and useful GIS applications that meet your specific information management needs that include:

General

• GIS Application Development and Programming including building innovative map viewers
• GIS Data Conversion and Migration
• ArcGIS Server Management and Support
• Processing field data
• Enterprise GIS Implementation
• GIS Database Design and Development
• Map Production
• GIS Web Hosting

Data Processing

• Geocoding - Addition of real-world coordinates to data based on street address information. Geo-referencing - Adding or adjusting coordinate values using control points and accurate base data.
• Network construction - Enhancing existing linework by adding directionality and connectivity, thereby making network analysis possible.
• Format conversion - Conversion of spatial or attribute data from one file format to another. ENKON specializes in the conversion of non-geo-referenced corporate CAD data (engineering drawings, mini-surveys, building plans, etc.) to well-attributed spatial datasets.

Imagery Services 

• Orthorectification - Removing distortion from a digital image or aerial photograph and geo-referencing it to its actual location in space. This involves removing parallax errors due to relief (high ground being closer to the camera than low lying areas), camera tilt, and other distortions.
• Format conversion - Translation from one file format to another, often requiring alternate geo-referencing techniques.
• Sourcing image - ENKON can source satellite and aerial photo images for anywhere in the world for use in enviroLIS applications.
• Surface analysis - Three-dimensional object analysis, including surface modeling and 3D visualization.
• Model Creation - Design of a structured set of rules and procedures to simulate real-world activity. Spatial models are excellent tools for analyzing complex systems.

Cartographic Services

• Custom Map Production - Production of digital or hard-copy maps. ENKON makes thousands of thematic digital maps available to its clients around the clock via the Internet. We also provide all types of hard-copy map series upon request.
