The first step in any project of the Technical and Data Services Group is listening to the customers to understand their objectives, their time frame for achieving their objectives, and the factors influencing the budget for the project. We want to be able to partner with our clients so we can be flexible in responding to their needs as the project evolves and information is developed.
The central role of the Technical and Data Services Group is to use up-to-date technologies to organize and manage data and provide information models that utilize and transfer data to enhance decision processes and track the impact of those decisions over time. The Technical and Data Services Group has experience managing complex flows of data from field foresters, through the analysis process, to the client. We recognize that no matter how slick the software, or how high powered the computer system, technical services are only as good as the quality of the data and the interpretation of that data. For these reasons, we are constantly refining the process that moves the accumulation and input of data closer to the field.
