The Data Canister™ Concept
Most geotechnology and spatial systems assume that the data being used is accurate. Without this accuracy no system will be able to consistently produce meaningful and actionable information.
North American organizations are at the front end of a crisis. Baby boomers, the largest workforce segment on the continent are now starting to retire taking with them years of accumulated knowledge, skills and process. Some organizations will be wrestling with as much as half of their workforce stepping out over the next decade.

The management of data quality is a challenge for all users of business and geotechnology systems. The size of the problem however can grow exponentially depending upon the quantity of different systems, data formats and data that are being used. It is also quite common to encounter a large number of applications that have been individually developed by the various departments and do not conform to common architecture or standards and in some cases duplicate functionality.
Based on our unique experience we have developed a trademarked methodology to provide operational solutions to organizations with large databases. We are experts in transforming data from ERP, BI, CRM, CAD and GIS, quantitative data quality control, and spatial database technologies. We also enable reuse and repurposing of such data and access through both internal and external portals. The modern era demands the unconstrained sharing of spatial data between systems, business areas, organizations, and the public. We are specialists in enabling such cooperative infrastructures.

Drawing on our technology expertise, our leading products and our experience we can provide solutions to help you to achieve business benefit through:

Quality Control
High quality data can be reused again and again. Our advanced tools for quality assessment can help you to increase your return on investment.

Enterprise-wide data sharing
Seamlessly integrating data from many diverse sources encouraging data reuse

Fitness for Purpose
Data captured to the highest accuracy can be processed automatically such as by generalization to support decision making in multiple applications

Interoperability
Maximize your investment in existing business applications through enterprise data-sharing

Mapping solutions
Adding topological intelligence to enable automated processing and online delivery.

Eliminate Errors
Quite simply large data bases, especially legacy ones, are often full of errors. The problem is how to identify this and correct them in a timely and cost effective manner without losing the information contained within. Data Canisters™ solves this problem.

Compatibility
Information may be stored in many different formats depending where it came form and what system was used. This may include normal corporate data contained in various BI,  ERP or CRM systems. It may include spatial or geographic data that was created, purchased or edited over the years. The harsh reality is that there is a significant difference between data and usable information. This is one of the functions of the Data Canister™. Once this process is completed it will provide meaningful corporate information.
