Modernized Geospatial Data Analysis Platform for Government Agencies

The agency faces slow adaptation to emerging technologies due to legacy applications, resulting in delays in processing new geospatial use cases. User experience is outdated and inconsistent across platforms. An organizational mindset shift is needed towards embracing microservices and reusable components. Multiple teams working on disparate components lack alignment, causing workflow bottlenecks. Additionally, workflows are disorganized, requiring a state management system that enables continuous improvement through learning from data and process variability.

A national government agency responsible for providing real-time geospatial intelligence and operational data to policymakers, military personnel, intelligence analysts, and first responders, utilizing advanced satellite and radar imagery analysis systems.

• Develop an integrated, end-to-end workflow management system supporting seamless definition, validation, and execution of geospatial data analysis use cases.
• Create a modular, microservices-based architecture with reusable components to improve system agility, scalability, and user experience.
• Implement a state management application and transformation engine for efficient data transmission and workflow orchestration across multiple services.
• Design a flexible, configurable rules engine supporting various use cases and continuous learning through analytics and automation.
• Facilitate rapid component configuration and integration, enabling other teams to deploy new capabilities in less than a day.
• Establish a unified operational framework that promotes cross-team alignment, improved program management, and ongoing system enhancement.

• User-friendly interface for case identification and data handling, allowing analytics capture and management outside and within the system.
• Onboarding process with configurable auto-approval rules enabling Subject Matter Experts to adapt workflows based on analytics and automation.
• A microservices architecture with a standard component library for consistent user experience and rapid scenario configuration.
• A state management application and data transformation engine to coordinate data flow and execute workflows across services.
• An exception handling process for seamless integration of legacy applications into the new system.
• A rules-based engine supporting multiple configurations for diverse use cases.
• Collaborative tools for cross-team development, configuration, and deployment.

• Legacy geospatial data systems
• Real-time satellite and radar imagery feeds
• Data analytics and transformation services
• Operational workflows and SOP management tools

• System scalability to support increasing datasets and user load with minimal latency
• High system availability and reliability to ensure mission-critical operations
• Data security and access control aligned with governmental standards
• Performance metrics supporting real-time data processing and visualization
• Continuous system monitoring and automated updates for ongoing improvement

The new platform is expected to significantly enhance operational agility, reducing workflow setup and integration time from days to hours. It will support end-to-end geospatial analysis processes, improve user experience consistency, and enable rapid deployment of new capabilities. By fostering cross-team collaboration and continuous system learning, the agency anticipates faster decision-making cycles, improved data accuracy, and a more responsive operational environment, ultimately strengthening national security and public safety outcomes.
