About AAM
AAM is an Australian based geospatial services company. AAM captures,
measures and presents the real world, in order to support intelligent planning and
management of the natural and built environment.
With decades of experience and advancements in built environment models, 3D
visualisation and Smart technologies, to help you make faster and more accurate
location decisions. In operation for 50+ years, AAM employs over 300 geospatial
professionals ready to serve you and offer unique end to end solutions.
AAM captures the full range of geospatial information, including multi-resolution
imagery and high density LiDAR, mobile and terrestrial laser scanning; using a wide
range of data capture sensors and a fleet of custom equipped aircraft, vessels
and vehicles operating across Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, Middle East and Africa.
We create Building Information Models, reality cityscapes, time-enabled basemaps, urban forests, optimal solar surfaces and dynamic IoT mobile and sensor
data streams. We integrate bi-directionally with multiple business systems to streamline your operations and build tools to easily view, present, analyse, edit,
maintain and share your data. We help you get the most out of your spatial data and technology investments through Professional and Managed Services across
multiple platforms, applications and formats.
Rapid and easy access to these integrated data and tools, through our cloud platform Geocirrus, improves productivity and outcomes by enabling you to make
faster and informed location decisions. Whether you need data collection, GIS-enabled workflows, complex analysis, or to visualise a transport network,

Why Use Geocirrus Cities
As our cities become ever more populated, we need smarter solutions to better plan and manage our cities and built environment. In increasingly complex
urban environments, Geocirrus Cities provides the platform for informed decision making by providing user friendly, visualisation, analysis and collaboration
tools. Geocirrus Cities is 3D web application that brings together various elements of a city scape providing to provide a unified, holistic and end-to-end
integration to help city administrators, planning agencies and property developers to plan and manage increasingly complex urban environments.
Providing intelligent and intuitive visualisation and analysis of the real world, Geocirrus Cities incorporates easy to use navigation and analysis tools, with
information rich, time-enabled geospatial information for managing and planning the urban environment.
Intuitive smart analytic tools provide support for complex decision making and scenario analysis. Geocirrus Cities is fully cloud based, so your 3D web site and
private data are safe and secure, and not dependent on complex internal hardware or software systems and in-house GIS and BIM experts.
Geocirrus Cities also supports visualising neighbourhoods over time, the integration of IoT and ‘live data feeds’ thus ensuring that Geocirrus Cities sites are
activated (alive) and constantly evolving and not just a static view of a point in time.

Full Cloud
Geocirrus Cities, Full Cloud, is a complete AAM hosted solution for geospatial data including our 3D web application, Geocirrus Cities. The solution allows for
the publishing of geospatial data, via the AAM Geocloud (AWS) environment for consumption in the Geocirrus Cities web application.
In the Geocirrus Cities ‘Full Cloud’ option, both the software and data components are hosted in the AAM Geocloud (AWS) cloud. The advantage for the
client is that AAM provides the optimisation, storage and maintenance of the core 3D GIS data sets that provide the backbone for each Geocirrus Cities site.
The Full Cloud option is ideal for clients who have a ‘cloud first’ or ‘cloud always’ policy. The Full Cloud approach ‘frees’ the client to concentrate on the
business applications as opposed to maintaining and publishing often large and complex 2D and 3D GIS data sets and maintaining a complex in house GIS
environment.

Streamlined Site Setup and Maintenance
AAM has developed a 10 point workflow from initial consultation to delivery and support:
1. Establish a private instance of Geocirrus Cities.
2. Register / authenticate named users to Geocirrus Cities application.
3. Establish Geocirrus Cities secure database to manage the creation of projects within Geocirrus Cities.
4. Setup the hosting environment to receive project data correctly.
5. Review the initial client data, discuss the correct use of 3D vs 2D for data representations, optimise and publish the data.
6. Set up the Geocirrus Cities base data layers comprising the client data, correct grouping, symbology, access rights and slides.
7. Configure Geocirrus Cities to the client base data layers and appropriate tools from those available.
8. Review the performance of the system.
9. Provide training on the use of Geocirrus Cities and the support mechanism that AAM provides for quick reliable customer assistance.
10. AAM will provision two additional base data layers uploads per year if/as required.
