MDMI: Proven Methodologies

PlanGraphics has developed a set of documented proprietary methodologies that address common types of GIS and information system design and development projects. These methodologies, together comprising our "MDMI" suite, are organized into a series of modules, each defining steps and processes for a specific project scope.

The benefit of MDMI is that the standard methodology descriptions provide a uniform documentation of the approach used for PlanGraphics' most important and frequently used administrative and consulting practices. MDMI is used both for training new PlanGraphics staff and as starting points for assisting clients cost-effectively and efficiently.

Documented methodologies fall into the following business activity categories:

• Needs analysis and planning
• System acquisition and implementation
• Database development
• Application development
• Business process re-engineering
• Organizational structure and staffing
• Pilot projects
• Special consulting projects
• Internal management procedures
• Client/prospect relations and communications
• Document preparation and management procedures and standards
• Proposal preparation and submittal.
