NSG Port Solution On-Site

[threecol_two]

The deployment of the NSG Port Solution On-Site is appropriate for ports that wish to own their own software, have the ability to invest up-front rather than pay as they go, and have the ability to support the IT infrastructure to some extent. On-Site deployments are more capable of integration with other corporate systems, such as security and financial systems. They can also be hosted off-site but still be considered “On-Site” if they are dedicated to a single client’s use, can be completely controlled by the client’s staff, and are using software directly licensed to the client.

On-site deployments can be managed completely by the port, or contracted out in part or in full to NSGIS (or a hybrid). In terms of data and access security, an On-Site deployment can leverage as little or as much security as the port decides, including full integration with Active Directory or a federated security model. An On-Site deployment can be strictly internally-facing, or can be partially exposed to external stakeholders via standard security measures.

A typical On-Site deployment consists of a bundle of software and initial consulting and services. Ports recognize that a “clever piece of software” is not worth deploying unless the following is also provided:

  • Trusted and complete data that can be used in the software
  • Methods and funding for keeping the data up to date
  • Training and outreach that ensure wide adoption and correct use of the system
  • Governance that will ensure that the system continues to be funded, managed, and used

The recommended On-Site deployment consists of a bundle of software, procedures, training, and data services, minimal in investment but sufficient to launch a successful and sustainable program. A typical bundle costs only about 25% of what a completely custom, “from the ground up” implementation of an enterprise geospatial solution in a port would cost.
