Geospatial Solutions
The Geospatial Solutions Portfolio at Carahsoft is composed of several complementary technologies that aid in the collection, dissemination, exploitation, and analysis of geographic information and create an end-to-end geospatial workflow. Our technologies help organizations fuse relevant location-based data with modern mapping platforms to more effectively process information and thus enable better decision making. As government organizations continue to ramp up their geospatial investment, it is imperative for them to seek out a solutions provider that understands their needs.
Carahsoft’s strong relationships with leading geospatial partners and our deep understanding of the geospatial landscape provides customers the confidence they need to accurately match project requirements with supporting technologies.

Understanding the Flexibility of Open Source Licensing
August 29th, 2016
Open source geospatial software use continues to grow, as more users realize the value it brings an organization in reducing license management and costs, preventing single vendor lock-in, and promoting interoperability. As a result, Boundless now has a number of partners and integrators who have developed both open and closed solutions on top of Boundless Suite. Building open solutions enables an organization to leverage the advantages of community participation. Namely that you aren’t maintaining your own forked code base, but are fulfilling your social obligation to share back with the community, and allowing for contributed code to live within the open source community. On the other hand, developing proprietary or closed solutions in conjunction with open source allows greater control of intellectual property.

The Benefits of Collaborative GIS
July 8th, 2016
Talk of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) evokes images of maps of cities, towns and remote locations. While GIS is incredibly valuable for departments and agencies that protect national security and maintain infrastructure, visualizations offered by GIS tools go far beyond industries reliant on maps and directions.

Sensing our Place with the Internet of Things
April 11th, 2016
We are increasingly becoming a more connected society; we strap on IoT wearables to our wrists, carry smart phones that connect to each other, and have connected thermostats, lights, fridges, and security systems in our homes. Beyond the efficiencies we find in our personal lives with connected devices, IoT sensors are providing real results business, particularly with real-time geographical data analysis. Geography is quickly becoming a critical component in how our IoT devices collect and store data. Information streams now offer analysts the ability to contextualize data and perform real-world analysis on the information coming in from the variety of IoT devices. The combination of location and device-collected data has huge potential for improving citizen’s lives and easing the day-to-day work across various public sector organizations.

The Benefits of Hybrid GIS
March 10th, 2016
Government has realized that building a GIS platform with proprietary and open source technologies can help agencies reduce risk and add value to their GIS architecture by avoiding single-vendor lock-in, minimizing costs associated with unsustainable proprietary licensing models, and promoting interoperability with existing software and architecture. Hybrid GIS architectures are allowing users to adopt more gradual, risk-appropriate migration strategies that avoid the rip and replace method that can destroy agency tech budgets.

The Rise of ABI and the Impact of GIS
February 4th, 2016
Activity Based Intelligence (ABI) is a practice that grew through the changing dynamics of threats posed to nation states. Without a defined nation-backed enemy coupled with more and more threats coming from loosely based organizations, traditional location-based surveillance is no longer enough. ABI looks at not just where something is happening but why; today it’s a multi-intelligence approach to human activity and transactional data analysis that seeks to resolve unknowns and develop object and network knowledge and relation.
