Since 2006 geocgi has engaged with Department of Defense (DoD) SME’s – establishing credibility, expanding knowledge, and cultivating relationships at all levels. We are fluent in the geospatial data standards that translate functional requirements into authoritative, useful data for products, services, and analyses.



geocgi provides geospatial data services and related support to the United States Army through the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM) across the continental United States.We staff the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the United States Air Force (USAF) installations, both for the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS), including: Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Eielson Air Force Base, Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, and Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni. Our analysts are geospatial data creators, adjudicators, and implementers at the installation and enterprise levels.

DevSecOps

Whether you call it “DevOps” or “DevSecOps” the tight integration of security protocols within the application development lifecycle streamlines and expedites the delivery of applications and services to clients. As applicable, we apply the technology across a wide range of projects.

geocgi develops and maintains Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) & Army National Military Cemeteries (ANMC) Website Development Operations & Maintenance (O&M)​ web presence, including custom web applications using the ASP.NET stack and DNN Content Management System (CMS). We perform rigorous requirements gathering to ensure systems are hardened and STIG compliant throughout the development and release cycles. Custom applications include: Headstone Designer, Events and Ceremonies, Multi-Media Blogs and Responsive Designs.

technical capabilities​

• Web, Desktop, and Mobile Application Development - .NET, PHP, SharePoint, JavaScript frameworks (jQuery & AngularJS), Objective C, and Python​
• Cloud and OnPrem Computing – IaaS, SaaS
• Database Design and Administration - MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle​
• Open Source Solutions – Drupal, WordPress, Leaflet, and Linux​



ANC Explorer is the cemeteries interactive map and grave finder. Developing in HTML 5 and AngularJS, while incorporating technology from Leaflet, MapBox, and ESRI, we provided a seamless and secure mapping and visualization experience for visitors on the web, mobile, and kiosk platforms.

geocgi stood up a cluster of secure cloud-based Esri application servers to quickly and securely analyze drone imagery collected for the Installation Geospatial Information & Services (IGI&S) Common Installation Picture (CIP) Data Collection and Standardization for Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) effort that we have headed for nearly three years.



geocgi built a secure cloud-based application development environment, utilizing IaaS technology for Marine Corps Installations Pacific (MCIPAC) IGI&S application development efforts. Through this environment, the client and our developers access, build, test and push hardened STIG compliant applications all siloed in a safe environment.

Utilizing ASP.NET framework and an MVC (model-view-controller) architecture, geocgi implemented creative and secure solutions for data visualization inside desktop and web-based applications within the USMC Critical Asset Management System (CAMS) for the USMC Mission Assurance Development Lab (MADL). Additionally, using GEOFidelis assets, geocgi integrated a GIS module into the system using Esri software developers kit (SDK).

geospatial enterprise and web GIS

An enterprise GIS provides broad access to geospatial data and applications throughout the organization. The combination of geospatial enterprise technology and Web GIS provides applications and tools to end users for analysis and visualization. Organizations can use dynamic geospatial data within custom enterprise solutions to better collaborate, communicate, and solve their unique problems. Web GIS platforms are ideal decision-making tools within an organization because they enable employees, stakeholders and subject matter experts. Whether in the office or out in the field enterprise technology allows your organization to access, edit, and share relevant and timely data, maps, applications, and workflows.



platform architecture and strategy

Geospatial Enterprise and Web GIS enable organizations to provide broad access to authoritative GIS data. geocgi is committed to developing GIS professionals that exceed the requirements of implementing this evolving technology; and focus on innovation in GIS design and incorporating related technologies. ​

Enterprise: ArcGIS Enterprise (ArcGIS Server + Server Extensions, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Data Store, ArcGIS Web Adaptor)​

Web GIS: Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online (Web AppBuilder, Story Maps, Mobile GIS, 3D Web Scenes)​

Geospatial Databases: MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostGRESQL, MySQL​

Geospatial Development: JavaScript, Java, Leaflet, .Net, MVC, AngularJS, iOS and Android, and a long list of SDKs and APIs.



geocgi has designed, developed and implemented ArcGIS Enterprise utilizing industry standards and best practices. The system is a multi-tiered and highly available enterprise, providing geospatial data services for the Marine Corps Installations Pacific (MCIPAC) region serving data for six installations across Japan, Korea, and Hawaii. The MCIPAC Enterprise Architecture uses a three-tier application approach encompassing the production, presentation and application tiers.

Production Tier is a series of virtualized environments spread across three physical host machines providing the ability to store, produce and serve data across the entire enterprise for a large user community. Data is made available for both the application and presentation tiers through MS SQL Server and ArcGIS Datastore. ​

Application Tier utilizes Remote Desktop Services (RDS) to provide ArcGIS Desktop to MCIPAC analysts and grants the ability to maintain the authoritative geodatabases as well as produce cartographic products on demand. ​

Presentation Tier includes both ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Portal allowing geospatial information from within the enterprise and out to be discoverable, sharable and visualized through web applications and maps.

news



geocgi Approved as an ArcGIS Indoors Specialty Partner

geocgi is excited to announce that we have recently been approved as an ArcGIS Indoors Specialty Partner. ArcGIS Indoors is a new product released earlier this year from Esri. ArcGIS Indoors enables organizations through a common operating picture of indoors built environments to track assets in real time and provide accurate navigation and way-finding through the integration of Indoors Positioning Systems (IPS). ArcGIS Indoors enhances organizational collaboration and communication by connecting people to the spaces they work and operation within.

We were approved as an ArcGIS Indoors Specialty Partner because of our demonstrated experience in automated floorplan data collection, cloud-based ArcGIS Enterprise implementation, and IPS configuration. As an established and geospatially focused technology firm, we can help organizations better understand how to efficiently collect, clean, and manage complex indoors data, while employing best practices for enterprise and web GIS. More recently, we have added IPS setup and management to our growing list of capabilities. Whether through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons, or Wi-Fi based positioning, we can configure any environment to provide the rich and contextual location information needed to assist people in their operational environment.

geocgi has been an Esri business partner since our inception in 2006, and we are thrilled to add ArcGIS Indoors to our already impressive list of awards and specialty designations from Esri, including the 2019 Collaboration Partner - Esri Federal Small Business Specialty Award, ArcGIS Online Specialty, Release Ready Specialty, and the Federal Small Business Specialty. If you would like to know more about our work with ArcGIS Indoors please contact us at info@geocgi.com.
