We can offer various Consulting services in the Information Managment, Information Technology, GIS, and Business Process & Decision Fields. Below is a brief list of just some of our available consulting services:

Information Management Policies

 The implications of the “PROMOTION OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION ACT, ACT 2 OF 2000” has far reaching implications for any Public- and Private Organization. In essence, the Act provides a framework for us to exercise our constitutional right and request information, and also provide the framework for organizations to provide information. The Act also refers to “justifiable limitations, including….limitations aimed at the reasonable protection of privacy, commercial confidentiality and effective, efficient and good governance”. In order for public- and private bodies to comply with the Act, it is of utmost importance that an “INFORMATION MANAGEMENT POLICY”, be developed.

Aimed specifically at Local Authorities, the aim of such a Policy Document is to assist officials in 
  • Identifying the information that can be requested
  • Determining the type of information, based on the Information Act,
  • Assisting the officials in determining the “affective, and efficient” process in providing the information. As part of the service, interactive and user-friendly programs are produced, to assist the officials in complying with the Information Policy Guidelines.

GIS Strategies

 The value of a well constructed organisational strategy, is something any organisation can only see after such a strategy has been implemented. The benefits are well documented, and any organisation will testify that an organisational strategy (be it a GIS Strategy) has helped them to unlock value within their organisation. When people in an organisation can share the same vision, work towards the same objectives and are led by a common mission, the potential to unlock productivity are immense. Developing a strategy further involves identifying clear roles and responsibilities to achieve the clearly defined objectives, and buy-in is required from all levels within the organisation.
