Client Profile

This Texas-based county government agency was navigating a pivotal leadership transition in its IT department. With a new CIO stepping in and no clear direction left by the outgoing leadership, the organization needed guidance to move forward with critical GIS infrastructure planning.

The Challenge

The county faced a significant hurdle: the incoming CIO inherited a team with little clarity on existing or future technology needs. The organization needed help understanding what hardware would be required to support a GIS solution and how to structure it. Without a clear vision or technical roadmap, progress had stalled.

The Weaver Way

Weaver Technologies stepped in early, providing consultative support to establish the building blocks for a modern GIS infrastructure. By listening carefully to the customer’s needs and aligning recommendations with long-term goals, our team helped clarify a phased approach — from planning to hardware procurement — in a way that made sense for both IT and leadership.

Why Weaver Technologies

Weaver had a strong reputation as a responsive, consultative IT partner. Our team was chosen for our ability to bridge the gap between vision and execution — and for giving the CIO confidence in a complex, high-visibility initiative.

The Right IT Solution

Weaver recommended and helped scope out Dell R750 servers and PowerVault storage, providing the customer with a scalable foundation for their GIS platform. Though the county ultimately purchased the equipment through a different channel, Weaver remained a strategic advisor throughout the planning process.

The Right Time: Execution

While no direct services were delivered, Weaver’s guidance defined the architecture, product requirements, and optimal sequencing — saving time, minimizing risk, and streamlining future procurement.

Outcomes

• Faster response times for GIS data uploads and user access

• Strong internal alignment between CIO and GIS operations

• Clear procurement roadmap that enabled a smoother rollout

The Right Reason

Weaver didn’t just recommend hardware — we empowered the county’s leadership team to move forward confidently, with the right knowledge to make strategic, long-term decisions.
