Cloud Computing for Forest Management

take your data with you from the office to the field

Remote Desktop Cloud Computing for Forest Management

In a remote desktop environment your staff will gain secure access to powerful industry tools on our high speed servers.  This means that you can have the power of advanced software tools common to large corporate forest companies without the complication and expense of setting up and maintaining software and hardware systems.

 

Functionality

Small or fragmented forest management teams can access stand records, maps and harvesting production data anywhere with an internet connection.

Forestry managers (of all size) have the ability to maintain an easily query-able store of all forest stand records and log scales, including current status of the forest and the historical events within the GEOMaster forest information system.

Client Software

Clients can access data when and where needed whether it is Microsoft Office 365, ATLAS applications, Maps or Harvest and Inventory Data applications.

Scalable and Secure

Built on Microsoft Azure, the platform ensures high availability and scalability to accommodate growing data needs. Your data is protected through Azure’s secure infrastructure, with encryption and compliance with industry standards to ensure privacy.
