St. Charles, IL – Despite the troubled state of the economy, The Sidwell Company, a provider of GIS and land records management solutions, sees the market for these services continuing to thrive in many areas of the country. Sidwell’s versatility and variety of solutions has contributed to their selection by a diverse group of local government and private-sector entities in recent months, including: Clark County, Nevada; Cleveland County, Oklahoma; Pueblo County, Colorado; Robertson County, Texas; Lawrence County, Missouri; Worth County, Iowa; and the Capitol Appraisal Group, Inc., of Austin, Texas. Among the numerous services that Sidwell will be providing are conversion of GIS data to the industry-standard geodatabase and implementation of Parcel Builder™, their parcel maintenance solution built on ESRI® technology; creation of countywide color digital orthophotography; digital imaging of more than 250,000 land records; and development and enterprise deployment of a spatially-enabled field appraisal solution.
According to company President Neal Carpenter, “It’s clear that geographic information continues to be a priority and that local government will continue to operate and provide support to their citizens despite the economic downturn. The challenge is to accomplish this in creative ways that are affordable and yet add real value.” Adds Carpenter, “Not only are our existing customers asking for our support, we’re also serving new counties and markets as we tailor our services to fit their budgets and address their immediate needs in land records management.”
