Data Integration Solutions

As technology advances, the issue of storing large quantities of data continues to grow. Emerging technologies gather valuable data at incredible speeds, capacities, and variations. Our team at MEI has developed techniques to collect relevant information from this data and deliver it in a manageable format to our clients. We work closely with our clients to ensure the data we provide integrates seamlessly with their existing software.

Asset Management Solutions

Do you need help managing your utilities assets? Are you still relying on labor-intensive paper maps, handwritten forms, Excel spreadsheets, and emails? McCord Engineering can provide a reliable asset management system, complete with customized software that can generate a broad array of data types and implement them directly into your existing workflow. Regardless of the GIS environment, this data can include maintenance plans, vegetation management and even work order generation, just to name a few. By automating your asset management and letting the data handle itself, you save valuable time and effort.
