Four reasons to choose a GIS Specialist from Tensing

May 29, 1953. Edmund Hillary and his sherpa Tenzing Norgay reach the summit of Mount Everest. An historic achievement. The two men are supported in their attempt by a team of nearly 400 men. Even the best climber and the best sherpa of the time need a very good team. Together you are strong. Tensing's GIS Specialists may have never been to Nepal, but even behind them is a very good team that allows them to get the most out of every project!

Reason 1: Knowledge sharing is power

The factor that makes Tensing unique is our structural focus on knowledge sharing. Our Managing Consultants ensure that the knowledge level of their team members grows continuously through coaching sessions. They do this both proactively and in response to customer feedback.

We also have our Geospatial Evangelists. A title you can only earn within Tensing, you can't apply for it. They have so much knowledge of ArcGIS or FME that they can rewrite its manual. Does one of our consultants need help with a super-specific issue? Then he or she will call one of our Evangelists and within five minutes they have an answer and can move on. In addition, the Geospatial Evangelists organize training sessions and workshops based on best practices. Learning from each other is central to Tensing.

All our colleagues also have a senior buddy who regularly provides them with individual feedback. So even more knowledge growth. And it doesn't stop there. Every month we organize knowledge sessions, where colleagues present their work to learn from each other.

Reason 2: We know your industry

Tensing has served customers in a variety of industries over the past 30 years: including municipalities, water boards, national government implementing agencies and utilities. We have been able to test our GIS solutions in different environments. In addition, this has allowed us to learn what the major challenges are in each industry. 

Our GIS Specialists know your industry. We know the jargon, the issues at hand, the organizational and political challenges you face. Moreover, we are certain to have a best practice that is applicable to the issue currently facing your organization. Filling wishes in a geographical information system is always a tailor-made process. Our experience with all these specific wishes has enabled us to fully utilize the possibilities of both FME and ArcGIS. We are happy to use this knowledge to help your organization as well!

REASON 3: WE FOCUS ENTIRELY ON GIS

Knowing what you want as an organization is very important. Knowing what you don't want is just as important. Tensing deliberately chooses GIS Consultancy. We want to do one thing very well. This complete focus on geographic information systems is deeply ingrained in Tensing's DNA and that of our employees. We have a passion for maps, they have a passion for maps. The resulting intrinsic drive ensures that we get the most out of our work every day and encourage each other to do the same.

REASON 4: WE ARE FULLY CERTIFIED

At Tensing, we believe it is important to test our own expertise, both individually and for the entire organization. Our GIS Specialists are therefore all FME and/or Esri certified. Even when we hire a Senior GIS Specialist, we test his or her knowledge this way.

Tensing is an Esri Gold Partner and Safe Software Silver Partner.
