VSolvit developed a custom software development life cycle program for the Enterprise Geospatial Management Office (EGMO). VSolvit conducted the following: program analysis, system architect, development, data management, testing, and evaluation for various geospatial projects. Geospatial information products and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solutions are required immediately to describe, implement, monitor, and sustain the USDA staff mission. VSolvit developed solutions using maps, charts, data layers, and technology, global position system (GPS), geographic information system , Geospatial cloud-based platform development, internet based mapping solutions, mapping, geodatabases, and geocoding. We provide daily data management activities including data creation, data conversion, data processing, geocoding, documentation (metadata), and data sharing and developed and manage a repository for EGMO GIS Portal and management of EGMO’s geodatabase. This portal allows end-users to see available datasets and allows this information to be used as a decision support tool which cuts down on redundancy datasets, thereby saving time, money, and resources for the USDA.
