CoreSpatial is a comprehensive geospatial analytics platform developed to help organizations unlock the full value of location data. Integrating high-resolution mapping, spatial analysis, and enterprise data sources, it provides powerful tools for visualization, modeling, and decision support across complex operational environments.
CoreSpatial 3D is the newest module in the CoreSpatial platform, bringing a full 3D web viewer to CoreSpatial Portal through a self-hosted deployment of Cesium ion. Global terrain, imagery, and buildings come packaged for offline use, and photorealistic 3D Tiles built from your own data run entirely on your infrastructure.

A useful AI roadmap should force decisions. It should tell leadership what deserves attention now, what should wait, what conditions must be met before moving forward, and what evidence will justify the next investment.
Good AI governance should remove guesswork. Clear boundaries, defined accountability, appropriate oversight, and practical escalation paths can help employees use AI responsibly while keeping routine work moving.
Dockerizing local development gives every developer the same environment and cuts setup from days of documentation to minutes. Johnny Pongetti explains how NGS runs Keycloak and OpenID Connect locally, what broke, and when a team should skip the auth layer.
Giving employees access to AI tools does not automatically create adoption. Effective AI adoption requires clear workflows, defined expectations, practical enablement, and management reinforcement so AI becomes part of how the work gets done.
AI tools can get a working prototype in front of customers in a weekend, and that is a gift. The trap is believing the prototype was the hard part. Scale, security, operations, and usability are where a product actually gets built.
Nine years into a software career, I joined NGS and handed Claude the wheel on a neighborhood-matching app. Here is how planning, phased epics, stacked PRs, and fresh-eyes code reviews worked out, and what I would change next time.
