A software of the AML type at the service of geography and the environment.
Pros
- It allows us to visualize data with extreme ease, through maps and graphs, patterns and tendencies.
- This visualization allows, in turn, to make decisions more quickly and with a greater amount of information than what a good part of software of the same nature allows.
Cons
- Being a web-based platform can, in some cases, be counterproductive, especially in areas where internet and satellite coverage are of low quality or are not available, such as jungle areas.
- The results obtained, in most cases, need to be interpolated, in order to completely characterize the study area.
- The interpolation functions are those that are typically used in commercial software used in this area of study, and have the same limitations. When using it I have not found any novelty regarding this.
Return on Investment
- The use of the software allowed the minimization of activities associated with logistical support to field staff. That reduced the time associated with these activities by about 15% of the initially estimated time.
- The aforementioned reduction translated into decreases in expenditures in the order of $ 2000 / day.
