Applied Geographics, Inc.

Applied Geographics, Inc. (AppGeo) was acquired and is now a division of The Sanborn Map Company, Inc. Sanborn's About page states: "In 2022, under the leadership of President and CEO, John Copple, Sanborn acquired Applied Geographics, Inc. (AppGeo), a firm with a 30+ year history of geospatial IT consulting, analytics, custom application development, and strategic planning." The page adds that the acquisition "expands and deepens Sanborn's commitment to an integrated and comprehensive approach to Geospatial Solutions that meets the information needs of government and business in all sectors." The appgeo.com web address now redirects to sanborn.com, so anyone looking for AppGeo reaches Sanborn. AppGeo is listed as one of Sanborn's five divisions, alongside Mapping, Sanborn Spatial Intelligence, Sanborn Geophysics and Onsite Services. Michele Giorgianni is named as Director of Consulting Services, AppGeo Division. Sanborn describes itself as having created its first maps in 1866 and states "Since 1866. ISO 9001:2015 certified." The AppGeo Division keeps a Massachusetts office; the address published for that location is 33 Broad Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02109, phone 617.447.2400. The site does not publish prices, rates, fees or a cost list for any service, does not publish office hours, and does not give an online booking or appointment tool. To get a quote or an estimate, or to schedule a conversation, the site directs people to contact Sanborn by phone or email. Nothing on the site states that AppGeo operates as a separate company today.

Lists Maumelle, Central, Cincinnati, Hamilton, Austin, Boston, New York City, and Maricopa as a location. Names Arizona, Kentucky, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, Texas, Washington, and United States as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

No prices are published. The site contains no price list, pricing page, rates, fees, hourly cost or sample project cost for any service. Anyone who needs a price, a quote or an estimate has to ask the company; the Program Support page carries a "Get a Quote" contact form and the line "Contact us to get started," and the Contracts page says "Identify the right contract vehicle for your project" with a "Contact us" link. For public sector buyers the Contracts page lists master contracts intended to "Reduce the cost and effort of contracting." Sanborn is described as "a GSA-approved supplier of GIS products, services, and solutions to Federal, State, and Local government entities" through a federal GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. State of Texas contracts listed are: Texas DIR-CPO-6215 - DBITS: Deliverables-based IT Services; Texas DIR-CPO-6042 - Stratmap: Geospatial Products and Custom Geospatial Data and Services; Texas DIR-CPO-5173 - Cloud Services; Texas DIR-CPO-6093 - Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery Technology Services; and Texas DIR-CPO-6197 - FEWS: Flood Early Warning Systems. The page says these Texas contracts give access to spatial data products, data acquisition services, partner products and professional geospatial engineering and IT consulting services. For the MapGeo web mapping platform, the product page points visitors to MapGeo.io "For details and pricing" rather than listing any figure.

The site does not publish opening hours, and does not say when any office is open or closed. It does not publish a service area map or a list of areas served by the Boston office; the work described is with federal, state, city and county government and commercial clients across the United States rather than a defined local radius. There is no online appointment or booking tool on the site. To contact the company, schedule a conversation or ask about a project, the published route is the phone numbers and email address above or the Contact page at sanborn.com/contact. Any statement about hours, response times or availability would have to come from the company directly.

State GIS strategic and business planning is described on the site as "a specialization of Sanborn's AppGeo Division and we've completed more than 35 state strategic and business planning projects." The page says the team can help a state agency "develop your GIS strategic vision, goals, and objectives, test them through facilitated stakeholder engagement, anchor them in implementation plans with milestones and success criteria, and justify them through ROI studies." For statewide geospatial data, the page cites work with the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) and with individual state GIS leaders: designing programs, collecting and delivering statewide datasets such as parcels, addresses, ortho and oblique imagery, and promoting state data portals and data sharing programs, including statewide imagery and lidar programs from strategy through collection, hosting and serving. State Departments of Transportation are supported with Right of Way maps, Roadway Characteristics Inventories, aerial imagery and lidar asset mapping, and interoperable CAD-GIS systems. For State Broadband Offices, the page describes a data strategy for broadband address, service coverage and demographic data to meet NTIA Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) and Digital Equity (DE) program demands. Named state clients appear on the projects list at sanborn.com/projects, including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Massachusetts GIS Strategic Plan), the Washington State Department of Commerce, the Commonwealth of Kentucky (KyFromAbove oblique imagery) and the Arizona Department of Transportation. No price, cost, rates or fees are published for state work; a quote or estimate comes from contacting the company.
