Geography.
In practice.
Parallel Geographic specializes in leveraging the technology, design and analysis that enable the practice of Geography. We're in the business of helping others understand better how the world works. We are committed to helping improve the systems that help society thrive.
Parallel's services are scale and industry agnostic. We bring the tools and expertise of modern Geography to the problems that our clients have. We provide a spectrum of solutions, from comprehensive GIS implementation to tailored survey designs, analytical reporting, program monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and custom application development.
The discipline of Geography encompasses the processes and frameworks for understanding how to measure the physical, social and cultural contexts of our world. Highly multidisciplinary in nature, we develop, use and share the most modern technical tools that are available. We push the limits of what can be done with technology and help build some of those tools ourselves.
Let us help you ask the right questions for your context. Let us show you how new insights to your questions will make solving real problems easier and more effective.
Let us help you make the Map, so we can all understand the Territory.
Modern Geographic technology starts with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) – but what makes Parallel good at implementing GIS solutions has made us experts in a broader array of technical tools. Our projects may encompass any of the following for our clients:
- Custom Application Development
- Data Lifecycle Design
- Digital Mapping
Geographers at Parallel use both Open and Closed source technologies in our contributions. We recognize that many teams are bound to and embrace existing closed-source software systems - and we can help you make the most of these systems. At the same time we have found that embracing open source allows for a freedom of exploration that may allow our clients to find novel solutions, or to get more cost and time-effective solutions.
At Parallel we are experts in understanding, organizing, and communicating data in a way that brings sensemaking to stakeholders. This work goes hand-in-hand with our technical solutions, as we work with clients to develop new ways to understand their domains, including:
- Program Monitoring and Evaluation
- Survey Design and Implementation
- Statistical Analysis
- Reporting
Parallel works with clients working in planning and development where social, economic and environmental needs are relevant - what makes Parallel unique is our commitment to understanding place.
