Our ethos:

Simplicity
GIS technology can be complicated. Likewise, complex maps, graphics, & solutions tend to complicate things. Simple solutions result in deeper understanding, greater economy, and stronger effect.

Utility
Utility is directly proportional to simplicity. No matter how handsome the map or bulletproof the data, it’s not a success until it’s useful to our clients.

Transferability
Ultimately, PGD seeks to empower it clients. We’re happy to keep you as a client for life, but it may be in your best interest to adopt our solutions in-house. Thus, simplicity & utility prepare the path toward enabling our clients to transfer PGD’s solutions to their own management.

PGD has been awarded the following certifications:

  • Certified Green Business by Napa County
  • Certified Small Business Enterprise by the State of California

We are also members of the following organizations:
