Capabilities

I. Spatial Database Design, Development and Integration

DEM The biggest advantage that a GIS offers is the ability to relate attribute data with spatial locations. Choosing from a variety of software, JAYA can design a spatial database specialized for the needs of the user. Whether this requires creating a stream layer from elevation models, or multiple layers digitized from aerial photos, created from scratch, or adjusted from baseline data, JAYA is equipped for these services. Once the database is designed and developed, JAYA aids in the integration and upkeep of the database so that it becomes a dynamic source of information for the future of the users.

Reference Projects

USDA Forest Service - Ozark-St. Francis NF, Southern Region

Provided two key hydrologic GIS data layers for the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. The first layer delineated and annotated associated flood plains and flat ridge tops derived from DEM using slope, aspect and slope position analysis. The second, vector high-order stream data layers that were created from digitized maps and hydrological model using 10 and 30 meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data.

USDA Forest Service - Southern Region

JAYA developed visitors' map for the USDA Forest Service by converting digital data archived in CAD drawings into ESRI GIS environment. JAYA processes the CAD drawings such that each level of drawings is stored in GIS data layer with the appropriate attribute information. The layers are then constructed into a map environment from which a film product is developed.

II. Custom Application Software Development

GIS can be enhanced to truly meet the needs of a user. This is usually limited only by the user's imagination and requirements and the programmer's ability to develop or modify software. JAYA's GIS specialists and programmers are skilled in designing and developing customized GIS software applications. We understand the importance of the design phase and need to communicate with the user. Often prototyping approach is used to achieve the final version. The design may only require Avenue scripting in the case of ESRI's ArcView, or it may require more complex programming in Visual Basic or another high order language. Regardless of the requirements, JAYA's staff has the experience and capabilities and looks forward to the challenge.

Reference Projects

Sverdrup Technologies

Developed a customized software application for an environmental management GIS. The package was developed in the ESRI's ArcView environment. The application allows environmental managers and engineers to view and analyze data collected by field environmental engineers and technicians. Site visualizations include analysis of chemical residue, site, ground lithology and monitoring well construction. Report and charts compliant with agency requirements are generated.

COLSA Corporation, Advanced Research Center, US Army Space and Missile Defense Command

Developed a custom software application to convert map data to a GIS format which is subsequently translated to a format compatible with the ModSAF Compact Terrain Data Base (CTDB), a battlefield simulation environment.

III. Digitizing Services

Companies and agencies are converting their maps and engineering data to digital formats for use in GIS. JAYA is well staffed and equipped to digitize data from various sources. JAYA's employees are skilled in heads up digitizing and digitizing using our tablet. The table allows for the digitizing of data from any hard copy source such as topographic or parcel maps. Using heads up digitizing, JAYA staff can prepare data scanned maps. All digitizing tasks undergo a rigorous quality control check by senior GIS specialists before delivery to the customer. Distance between our customer and us is not a factor. Our high speed T1 line permits data exchange and delivery of the final product via file transfer protocol site. Hard copy maps can also be printed on our large format printer. Contact us today for a price estimate (800.722.9912)
