Mentoring Programs available with Corporate GIS:
No charge for first consult
All mentoring is based upon our extensive “on the ground” GIS strategic experience across a very wide range of corporate GIS environments in many government agencies, utilities and councils. This experience is a direct result of having undertaken almost 100 spatial projects over the last 25+ years (refer to Projects page). So, we know what we are talking about.
In addition, because Corporate GIS is independent, that means that we don’t sell or develop software, systems or data, and we don’t have any business relationship or any agreement with any other company or organisation which could result in a bias towards a GIS product or company. So that means that we can always provide “frank and fearless” advice, uncolored by any allegiances to any other company or participant in the spatial industry.
