Implementing and integrating location intelligence into
an organization or enterprise requires a team familiar with
not only managing large multi-dimensional data sets, but
also one with an extensive background in geospatial tools
and technologies. The Localligence Professional Services
group is such a team that can work with an organization to
get them up and running quickly and efficiently so that they
can begin realizing the benefits of location
intelligence.
Localligence
offers three distinct stages for ensuring the successful
launch and implementation of a location intelligent
solution. These stages (detailed below) ensure that the
direction and goals of the project are fully appreciated and
documented, complete with a return on investment model as
well as key milestones, schedules and success metrics.

Before any
project can be kicked off, it is critically important to
analyze whether or not location intelligence makes sense for
a company. This is particularly important as not all companies will
benefit the same from location intelligence. The primary
purpose of
the Localligence Professional Services Team at this stage is
to identify the goals of the company and begin to construct
a return on investment that makes sense to all parties.
After this stage the company may decide that location
intelligence is not right for them, or, if it is right,
understand what steps need to be taken in order to
efficiently execute on an implementation
and roll out strategy.

Configuration Development |
|
|
|
|
Once
a company decides to move forward with implementing
a location intelligent solution, the Professional
Service Team begins to document the customer's IT
infrastructure and understand how the Localligence
Spatial Platform (LSP) will integrate into the
customer's architecture. This involves understanding
the type of applications that are going to be
integrated into the LSP as well as how data moves in
and out of the organization. Once this stage is
complete Localligence delivers a fully configured
LSP server which becomes part of the company's
infrastructure, or is hosted remotely at the
Localligence data center. At this point the customer may have
their own development team write applications against
this server or employ the Localligence Professional
Services Team to help build or tailor applications
to leverage the LSP.

Custom Application Development |
|
|
|
|
This stage, often
done in parallel to Configuration Development, is where the
Localligence Professional Services Team begins
integrating location intelligence functionality into
existing or new applications. In the case of
existing applications, such as business intelligence
programs, Localligence utilizes flexible APIs to
quickly and easily spatially enable the application
in order for it to leverage the LSP. In the case of
custom applications, Localligence works closely with
the customer to understand what their needs are and
then builds a new application from the ground up
that has the look and feel of the customer. This new
application features functionality designed
specifically for the customer, such as advanced data
visualization, routing, product
locators or support for mobile devices.
