PARTNER PROFILE
Gimmal Group is a leading professional service firm offering a range of information technology services, and helps the world's leading companies improve business performance through the effective planning, implementation and integration of: Geographic Information Systems, Enterprise Content Management and Records Management, Web Design and User Experience.

Across all industries, a common challenge is leveraging the full value of GIS and the need to link spatial data with related content - both structured and unstructured. The integration of spatial data with enterprise content management (ECM) systems allows organizations to make better decisions and streamline processes by establishing workflows and supporting applications that manage location data with all related information. Gimmal's approach builds on strong expertise in ECM and GIS.

Gimmal Group has the expertise to build and deliver GIS systems to meet targeted business needs. From GIS program planning and requirements analysis, through design and development, we produce solutions that enable organizations to quickly view and analyze integrated data and make informed decisions. More importantly, Gimmal's extensive expertise in ECM provides an "integrated team" approach to address the challenges of unstructured content associated with spatial data.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
The growth of unstructured content (documents, spreadsheets, reports, email, etc.), structured content, and maps/GIS content continues to increase exponentially along with demands on IT infrastructure (storage and networks). Organizations need to better manage all of this information, track it through work processes and maintain selected information as official corporate records for purposes of compliance, legal response, and disaster recovery. These needs along with end users' requirements for data discovery and access as well as the increasing cost of e-Discovery have created great demand for integrated solutions.    

BENEFITS
Gimmal develops solutions to support enterprise content management, integration with spatial/GIS systems and interfaces to upstream energy industry application stores. OpenSpirit provides the foundation for integrating a variety of energy industry application repositories with unstructured content and GIS/spatial data.

Gimmal solutions leverage OpenSpirit technology to enable end users to connect to a variety of upstream data repositories via a single search interface. The use of OpenSpirit product suite minimizes the complexity of the overall solution by providing a single API to disparate repositories.
