This experience includes:

• risk analysis and assessment

Thus, a unique competitive advantage is provided by the company when the combination of the spatial and business skill sets is considered together. Increasingly, many administrative and business units are using spatial (or location-based) information to assist in meeting their objectives. Few companies can fully appreciate how this combination can be maximised at a strategic level to the advantage of a client’s sphere of operation. Applied Land Systems Pty Ltd can provide advice in this regard.
