How to start your journey to the cloud?
When it comes to web-based services, there are various alternatives for different phases of the data’s life-cycle. Some of the services are designed for the actual surveying or data processing, some for data visualization, whereas others offer tools for analysis or utilization. You must consider few things when choosing the most suitable service for you:
- Do you already have a solution for certain phases? Does the survey equipment provider you use offer software for data gathering and processing?
- What are the steps in your workflow? Is there something to be optimized?
- How do your clients use the data? Are there possibilities to add value to your service?
Take a trial and test the platform
Most online services offer a free period for you to test the platform. That is the best way to know whether the service includes the features you need. Also, keep your mind open when testing; are there some features you could use to ease your work or improve the client experience?
Use blogs and guidance videos to get ideas for different ways to utilize the platform. Sometimes thinking out of the box can give the new perspective needed to take your business to the next level. Be a forerunner in the industry!
