The challenge

Qatar’s rapid development meant addresses, points of interest and road data changed faster than existing map products could keep up. The client needed a locally maintained GIS: a platform where their own team could manage map layers and location data, and where the public and partner organisations could search, browse and navigate — on the web, on iPhone, and on large interactive displays for exhibitions and public spaces.

What we did

Delivered in phases under a formal contract with a performance bond:

  • Web GIS application with layered maps, points-of-interest database, search and directions
  • Data management console so the client’s team could add and update locations, categories and layers without developer involvement
  • iPhone application (with a later enhancement phase) for public use
  • Multitouch electric table for showroom and exhibition use, running the same map platform
  • Full source-code handover and documentation at completion

The results

  • Project completed and signed off — final payment certificate issued
  • Client owns the platform outright (source code delivered)
  • One map platform across web, iPhone and interactive table
