Strategic Mapping Program

CAPCOG’s GeoMap Program & TNRIS’ StratMap Program Comparison

GeoMap AND StratMap provide:

• Excellent pricing due to volume purchases and cost-sharing• Project coordination and technical assistance• Quality control

Both programs have very similar objectives in being able to serve the need for cooperatively purchasing (cost-sharing) high-quality geospatial data at volume price discounts for the greatest geographic coverage

Some of the added benefits of the StratMap Program offers include:

• Streamlined contract and procurement process through DIR

• Negligible administrative fees• Multiple, pre-qualified vendors and products to select from• Potentially better pricing with greater statewide participation• Data is placed in the public domain to follow “open government” doctrines

…And for Central Texans, the program and staff are still headquartered locally (in Austin)
