Redefining Forest Technology means rethinking natural resources technology from the ground up. Yesterday's technology tools are not meeting today's information demands, causing organizations to fall behind and incur unnecessary expenses.
Forestry and natural resources are data driven with unique digital needs in the office and in the field. A digital strategy for information assets is imperative as projects require more data and information demands increase.
However, many organizations are tied to 1990s desktop file based tech and custom software which seriously limits their ability to adapt, grow and unlock the value of their information assets.
Our team provides standardized data models, analytical capabilities, growth and yield, satellite remote sensing and cloud managed services. The organizations we serve achieve a Single Version of the Truth for assets which is real time and accessible from anywhere work is being done.
While forestry and natural resources professionals didn't get into their profession to become technology experts, they understand useable information is critical to operating and staying competitive.
Organizations which can answer asset questions quick and reliably benefit from more bottom line value and reduce the time spent hunting down answers.
However, many organizations have built in house technology systems (spreadsheets, Access databases) or assembled disparate vendor technologies which require constant tending. The result is slow response times, limited usability, or risk of disruption when technical staff leave or retire.
We have proven the approaches to transition organizations from a pieces and parts technology to powerful technologies behind the modern device every professional has in their pocket.
Transform your operations. Information which is more usable and reliable increases trust in technology and increases the value extracted from tech investments. Organizations experience “Recurring Value” which compounds each day from avoid frustration and reduction in time spent getting answers.
Why Redefine?
While foresters wouldn't think of buying an old, used truck to work in the woods, many forestry technologies in use today are the functional equivalent of an old, used truck.
Smart device ready services from Netflix, Amazon, Spotify and business systems like Quickbooks Online are what are called "Cloud Native" technologies. Cloud native technologies form the backbone of our digital economy because their flexibility, capability and favorable cost. Redefining forest technology is about bringing the power of Cloud Native tech to the forestry workplace to automate, simplify and increase an organization's capabilities to operate, grow and respond to markets.
"Cloud native is about speed and agility. Business systems are evolving from enabling business capabilities to weapons of strategic transformation that accelerate business velocity and growth. It's imperative to get new ideas to market immediately." -Microsoft
Digitally enabling forest operations has never been easier, are you ready?
Smartphones, tablets, apps and streaming services - we all use them every day at home.
Escape the tedium of managing data and disparate legacy technologies so you can focus on core strengths. Every component from harvesting, maps, inventory, imagery and forest accounting function together as a single integrated whole which is always up to date.
