Who I've Helped

We had ten years of data scattered across drives nobody could find. Eian cleaned it up, migrated everything to ArcGIS Online, and trained our crew in half a day. We actually use our GIS now.
— Washington Tribal Organization
Our field crews were still using paper forms. He set up Field Maps, got it working offline, and showed the guys how to use it. Saved us hours every week on data entry alone.
— Regional Water District
Eian cleaned up ten years of disorganized GIS layers and tables, digitized and plotted road right-of-ways dating back to the 1800s, and brought our Assessor's office up to date on parcel boundaries. We finally have a system we can trust.
— County Public Works Director
