Welcome to the SpatialDev blog site. First a little bit about SpatialDev, who we are and why we are here. SpatialDev is a technology company with an emphasis on mapping and mobile location. SpatialDev is also a group of social entrepreneurs who believe that we can make a living by having a positive impact on the world using maps and location based technology to drive that impact. And have fun doing it. We believe that we can apply spatial technology to the challenges of the developing world.

We are a small company, we have no outside investors and no debt. We we’re formed as a small break-away from the former CH2M HILL Enterprise Spatial Solutions Group. For us, it was the perfect time to start a new company. The poor economy, the need to balance our personal interests against corporate goals, the development of new forms of location technology, and the rise of Africa and the developing world has made this the perfect time.

We balance the needs for our clients by implementing a range of geospatial technologies including Open Source tools, mobile platforms, ESRI, and everything in between and do so anywhere in the world. We worry more about our clients requirements than one particular stack or solution. So stay tuned for more news about our partnerships, our projects and our staff as we move forward.
