Strategy Development

Forth Valley GIS have a wealth of experience in successfully delivering and supporting corporate and departmental GIS implementations. Developing the business strategy for implementation requires careful planning to ensure that the GIS solution maps to the organisation’s needs.

Strategy development includes a range of activities to ensure that a holistic approach to implementation is adopted and that resource, technical, financial, data, process and management issues surrounding implementation are evaluated and appropriate options presented for the way forward.

Our approach to strategy development is business-focused and requirements driven and will result in a directed strategy to progress GIS implementation. Typically this work will include:

• Identification of business drivers and opportunities
• Requirements gathering through focused sessions with all stakeholders
• Analysis and appraisal of technical and resource options
• High level business case, costs and benefits
• Suggested business and systems models
• Data management requirements
• Outline implementation plan
