On-site and off-site programming support is available through our Application Development Services group. The DEC Application Development Services group is available for projects using languages, such as C, C++, Visual Basic, and Visual C++. Additionally, DEC can develop applications using GIS proprietary languages such as ESRI’s AML and Avenue.

Database Support Services
An integral part of an enterprise Geographic Information System is the database. DEC has been providing database implementation and support services for over 6 years. DEC is an Oracle Business Alliance member and has implemented numerous large-scale database systems throughout United States. DEC’s Database Administrators are available to support the implementation of database management systems necessary for any redistricting project.

Data Conversion
At times the rollout GIS services also requires the development of the client’s GIS database. As a result, DEC has continued to maintain an in-house staff of data conversion experts. The Database Conversion group at DEC can support projects such as conversion of Census Bureau Tiger files, Import and Export of redistricting plans from other GIS and hardcopy sources and any data development necessary to support the redistricting effort.

System Administration
Frequently the initial implementation of a GIS requires the installation and operation of large-scale networks of servers and workstations. Such installations are also typically performed when the client’s in-house staff are unfamiliar with the new system and are in the process of receiving training. DEC’s Systems Support group can provide experienced on-site systems support staff needed to assist client in the rollout of systems during the initial phases of a GIS implementation. Additionally, the Systems Support group can provide specialized support needed for redistricting and reapportionment systems.

Network Support
Nearly every enterprise wide implementation of GIS will require access to a local area network. The quantity of typical GIS data will also require the network be able to manage large data throughput. DEC’s Network Support Group provides services needed for the design and implementation of networks for GIS applications such as redistricting.
