Data management and access
Here at UGRC, we value good data and understand the effort behind it. Whether you're starting from scratch, re-imagining your GIS portfolio, or already have a solid data inventory in place, we can provide you with recommendations, best practices, standards, and tools for your unique situation to help you get the most out of your data.
Emergency response
911 dispatch centers (aka public safety answering points, or PSAPs) in Utah have significantly enhanced their life-saving capabilities by partnering with UGRC for GIS data. We are proud to be a part of this critical public service.
UGRC offers a multitude of benefits crucial for efficient emergency response. First and foremost, we provide access to the standardized, authoritative, and up-to-date geospatial datasets fundamental to call routing and emergency response. These include address points, road center lines, and municipal boundaries.
Looking beyond data, we also offer technical support and fostering collaboration between the PSAPs.

GIS strategy
Good data and strong analysis don't just happen accidentally. It takes intentional planning and dedicated resources to make your spatial goals a reality. Over the years we've seen what consistently works to generate solid results. Have a look at our ideas and start making a plan for geospatial success today.
Integrating GIS
When GIS becomes part of your business processes at any point, it opens the door to a greater perspective and understanding of your area of influence and helps you answer questions with greater locational clarity, thereby enabling you to deploy your resources more effectively and efficiently. For many years, and over a wide variety of subjects and situations, UGRC has helped state and local governments in Utah integrate GIS into their business processes for improved public service.
High precision location
UGRC is interested in new and emerging technologies that utilize high precision positioning and can increase efficiencies of important (sometimes life saving!) daily tasks and needs. Check out some of the current uses of our high precision GPS network and other use cases for high precision positioning. Get in touch to collaborate or just to let us know about how you use this technology!
