Geospatial data-driven decisions for government

A parks and wildlife department performs a wildlife population survey, a local sheriff’s office updates its address database, and a flood control district creates an inundation model. They all have one thing in common: each organization needs accurate geospatial data to make informed decisions and better serve the public’s interest. Stormwater inventories, utility condition assessment, or Aerial LiDAR & Imagery over a regional planning area, SAM possesses the experience to build a comprehensive Managed Geospatial Services™ strategy for all levels of government. With our suite of professional services, we can employ a cost-effective Geospatial and Inspection service that best serves your geographic area of governance.
