"Working
with InfoGeographics has been highly rewarding. Staff members are very
knowledgeable and personable. They work hard to help users work through
problems by quickly answering questions [...] Over the last year IGI
has helped Jackson County develop its Enterprise GIS system. They have
helped us design our property geodatabase, implement ArcIMS and implement
ArcSDE all with great success.
"IGI
support is always exceptional. The staff is quick to respond to questions
and issues. "

"Alpena
Power Company decided in 2002 that it was going to proceed with a project
to convert all of its manually drawn system maps(350+ maps) to a computerized
mapping system. After reviewing all of the various mapping software
products available on the market at that time, we narrowed our search
down to two vendors, ESRI and another product. When we contacted the
ESRI, they immediately contacted their closest business partner covering
our area of the state of Michigan, Infogeographics, Inc., and they had
them contact us by phone within 24 hours of talking to the ESRI people.
We were impressed by the fast response.
[...]
Infogeographics wasted no time in setting up a date for him to come
to Alpena and give us a demonstration of the ESRI software [....] During
that visit, we were able to sit and talk about what we wanted to accomplish
with our mapping conversion project, both immediately and down the road
as far as future links to enable us to tie it into other software systems(work
orders, outage management, etc.). [...] The personal and professional
attention that our proposed project received from (InfoGeographics)
was impressive and set a very positive tone for us to consider hiring
his company.
Once
we made the decision to hire Infogeographics, (IGI Staff), demonstrated
a lot of patience with me on the project because I did not have a lot
of computer expertise and that was one of my worries going into the
project. (IGI Staff) has a vast working knowledge of the ESRI utility
mapping software yet he was able to work with us down at our level and
make it understandable for those of us at APC that were involved and
eventually trained on how to use the software.
We
have been using the final product of our mapping project now for several
months and everything has been working as advertised and planned. (IGI
Staff) remain available for questions on a moments notice by virtue
of a phone call or e-mail message. I wouldn't hesitate to make the same
choice of companies again going into another project of a similar nature.

"[...]
GeoConnector along with the (Equalizer Assessing Module) has provided
us with a simplified and automated solution for providing pre-joined
Equalizer data to our GIS users. We were able to replace three separate
steps used to provide data to our ArcView users: AMLs to convert coverage
data to shape files, generic exports to extract data from Equalizer,
and MS Access macros to rename Equalizer field names to more user-friendly
aliases. The ArcView user then had to incorporate run-time joins in
the project, which could be time consuming during startup of more complex
projects. GeoConnector provides unattended, scheduled assembly of geo
and tabular data producing user friendly and ready to use shape files.
In addition to producing pre-packaged shape files, we use the GeoConnector
to extract data from Equalizer, rename fields with aliases, and create
dbf files which, through ODBC, provides access to current Equalizer
data for ArcInfo users as well. We have found the GeoConnector to be
both stable and reliable with no intervention required after the initial
setup. "

"GeoConnector
is a valuable resource to assist in managing attribute data on a timely,
orderly basis where less user intervention is required to keep attribute
data current. IGI support is very responsive and the ability to speak
with the programmer who writes the software usually allows the user
to identify the solution to a problem immediately. The ability to troubleshoot
and resolve a challenge with the software when integrating our County's
data in minutes rather than waiting for a "representative to contact
you at their convenience" is a major plus."
