Additional Information — Why Outsource

When your organization has a requirement for creating, customizing, or enhancing digital geospatial data content, there are two basic choices: 1) produce it yourself, or 2) enlist outside help. If you choose to use outside resources, commonly referred to as outsourcing, reasons may include:
  • The desire to expand production capacity or capabilities temporarily for a specific project
  • Performance and competitive pressures to speed project completion or time -to-market
  • Economic interests to lower overall project costs
  • A desire to distribute overall project risk, e.g., when data production represents one component of a larger effort
  • Insufficient or incompatible internal resources and/or skills
  • A need to preserve internal resources for other tasks not suitable for outsourcing
There is a world of specialized resources available to assist with geospatial data production. However, making the right connection between individual project requirements and outsourcing vendors can be challenging. And once a connection is made, managing the data production process remotely presents an additional set of challenges.

East View Cartographic works with clients to reliably support the outsourcing of mapping and GIS data production in two ways, as follows:

1) By carefully matching client organizations’ project requirements to qualified outsourcing resources. Typically performed as a fee based service, EVC is uniquely qualified in matching projects to qualified vendors based on years of experience working with leading outsourcing partners.

or

2) As the prime contractor for the outsourcing of mapping and GIS data production projects. Under this scenario East View Cartographic assumes full responsibility for the successful completion of the project and provides all services including vendor selection, project management, quality assurance, and language and cultural support with global vendors.
