Application Development

Today, Internet communications should be an integral part of all engineering and planning programs. Whether the application is a single web page with simple text and pictures or a complex, virtual private network for real-time collaboration, our in-house information experts will help you assess and implement solutions that work best for you. Our projects have been used to support:

• Asset management
• Flood hazard management
• Permit tracking
• Project management
• Public information programs
• Team collaboration

PBS&J helps clients with website conceptualization, graphic design, and website architecture. PBS&J can also offer additional Internet-based solutions for more specialized needs. Customized interfaces allow users to integrate data from different database applications into a common environment. For other uses, we can incorporate mapping, spatial query, and data visualization capabilities into a web browser, thereby providing the advantages of GIS technology without the complexity—or the necessity—of a desktop-loaded GIS system.

PBS&J also offers mobile and wireless solutions. PBS&J designs and ports customized applications to handheld and pocket PCs. We are actively designing both GIS and database tools for use in the field for everything from inventory assessment to land management. We are experienced in designing these systems for independent use and as remote network applications that communicate with web servers through wireless communication.
