No GIS? No Problem!

No GIS? No Problem!

What is stopping you from accurately locating all of your assets in the field and using that information to make informed, data driven decisions - Cost? Time? Outdated equipment or software?

Cloudpoint has been assisting clients with asset data collection for more than a decade, all while watching the technology continually improve and becoming more affordable at the same time. Gone are the days that a smaller organization would not be able to consider reaping the benefits of GIS. With these advancements we are able to bring GIS to any organization with an affordable, easy-to-use, mobile and collaborative environment.

ESRI Community Map Program- Providing Feedback on Basemaps

In 2010, ESRI started the Community Maps Program with the goal of enhancing and updating their foundational basemap layers with current and detailed local data. Over a decade later, tens of thousands of updates have been made using the tools available from the program. By contributing data, the community itself benefits from having local knowledge input directly into ESRI maps. This additional data helps power advanced analysis and can be used to create in-depth story maps. Apart from the direct use of updating basemaps, this collection of local data also helps to enhance and power the ArcGIS Living Atlas layers.
