How Does the Free Assessment Work?

Our Free GIS Assessment is a structured and comprehensive process designed to enhance your stormwater management strategies.

Led by our team of GIS and stormwater management experts, this step involves an unbiased review using our MS4 Program Assessment Framework. We'll thoroughly assess the essential aspects of your stormwater program and its integration with GIS, identifying opportunities for enhancement.

An in-depth conversation will focus on your specific objectives and aspirations. Whether aiming for regulatory compliance, improved sustainability, cost savings, or a combination, our assessment will be tailored to your needs.

We'll provide actionable insights and practical advice based on the assessment and your goals. You'll receive targeted recommendations to elevate your stormwater management program, meet your objectives, and tackle any challenges.

We don't just leave you with insights and recommendations; a follow-up meeting ensures you fully understand and can implement them. This session lets your team clarify questions and discuss the pathway to integrating these strategies.

The assessment is completely free of charge. If you decide to proceed with our recommendations, our team can provide ongoing support, helping you integrate these changes effectively and maximize your GIS infrastructure's impact.

We aim to deliver insights and a clear, actionable pathway forward, empowering your stormwater management with practical, effective GIS strategies.

"The assessment process proved to me that this is software built by stormwater professionals and not a software company fishing for a product fit. It was valuable to discuss the strategy our stormwater program will be using with people who understand stormwater program management."
