"The use of an 'Application Solutions Provider' (ENKON) to build, host and deliver a web-based spatial management system was a very innovative approach. Our assessment of this was that  PTA has received a high value business outcome at a very competitive cost using minimal technical and support resources." Stephen M. Brown Manager Systems Consultancy (Spatial Systems) Information Services Department of Industry and Resources Government of Western Australia 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. 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. Our staff can provide the following GIS services: Data Processing Geocoding - Addition of real-world coordinates to data based on street address information. Georeferencing - 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-georeferenced 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 georeferencing 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 georeferencing 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.
