  1. Innovation&Collaboration The SME Perspective sfuller@thinkspatial.com.au

  2. There’s got to be a better way to do this. Innovation • Our approach • Examples Collaboration • Our experience • Examples Questions Overview

  3. Our Approach • Adaptation, improvisation, but your weakness is not your technique! • Innovation, for us, is a mindset • There’s (possibly) a better way! • Try things • Doesn’t always work out! Innovation @ ThinkSpatial

  4. Example: Survey Marks

  5. Upside • CSV for survey controller • Quick, easy, no mistakes. • Google Earth KML • Big picture. • Eliminate possibilities (e.g. trees, marks in roads). • Navigation in the field (tablet, smartphone). • Paperless (reason to buy an iPad!) Downside • We are slightly lazier with our search constraint. • Minor tweaks once or twice a year. Example: Survey Marks

  6. SMESCoordsDemo

  7. Google Apps for Business Dropbox • Collaboration. • Sharing. • Buy one, get n free. • Versioning (incremental backup). • Mobile devices. Zapier • If this happens, then do this for me. Example: Web Services

  8. Repetitive tasks in AutoCAD. • Time consuming. • Error prone (forget, miss steps, etc). Automate these processes. Example: Automation

  9. Example: Automation

  10. Freelance development… • www.freelancer.com • www.elance.com • www.odesk.com No Progammer?

  11. Our Experiences • CRC-SI • Positioning Program • LiDAR Compliance and Quality Assurance Tool • University of Melbourne • Internships • Residential Field Camp Collaboration @ ThinkSpatial

  12. Compliance • Purchaser • ICSM Standard Requirements. • Custom requirements. • Supplier • “ticks off” requirements. • Provides additional details Example: comQAT

  13. Quality Assurance • Automatically verifies delivered data for: • Presence • Corruption • Completeness • Compliance • Verifies data accuracy • Suitability of independent control. • Vertical accuracy from independent control. • Visual Checks • Examine individual tiles for defects/problems. • Verify entire dataset or a random sample. • Multi-user. Example: comQAT

  14. The Result? • Standardised approach • Project specification • Delivery • QA • Huge time savings • 1 Terraabyte LiDAR dataset • Before: 6-8 weeks • After: 2-3 days • Reduced Project Management • Comprehensive, standardised, reporting • Minimises effort on re-supply Example: comQAT
