CH2M HILL Partners with IDV Solutions

CH2M HILL Enterprise Spatial Solutions (CO, USA) has signed a strategic partnership with IDV Solutions, a global location intelligence and visualization software and solutions company, to deliver enterprise spatial solutions, composite applications and systems integration services.

The partnership between CH2M HILL and IDV Solutions enables both businesses to offer its global clients both front-end and back-end systems integration expertise through one combined effort.

Providing front-end systems capabilities, IDV Solutions offers map platform independent software accommodating any Web mapping service. The company's Location Feature Server software (LFS), a .Net server-side product, orchestrates the integration of business and organizational data with location services, then displays the data as interactive features on the resultant map.

As the largest privately-held spatial consulting firm, CH2M HILL offers back-end systems expertise by providing clients with a single source for designing, building and managing its spatial needs.

Both Microsoft Certified Gold partners, CH2M HILL and IDV Solutions will together serve global 1000 businesses, homeland security and emergency management organizations, state and local agencies, and federal customers. Initially, the partnership will focus on delivering spatial solutions in areas including spatial supply chain management, location-enabled executive information systems and enterprise GIS.

"IDV Solutions is an industry leader in providing enterprises with compelling applications that help them realize the enormous benefit of visually integrating their information systems in the context of a map," said Nigel Nugent, vice president of channel partners, CH2M HILL. "This relationship will help push business towards a new standard for not only understanding and visualizing data, but redefining how a business interacts with data to ensure better, more informed decisions."
