When organizations need to make difficult choices about resource allocation, budget prioritization, or strategic planning, Decision Lens is often at the forefront of delivering powerful, data-driven solutions. However, these critical decisions become even more impactful when enhanced by geographic context. That’s why Blue Raster partnered with Decision Lens to bring ArcGIS Online integration capabilities directly into Decision Lens’s suite of tools.
Expanding Decision-Making Capabilities with GIS
For years, Decision Lens has helped clients efficiently evaluate trade-offs, streamline processes, and optimize outcomes. With ArcGIS Online Integration, Decision Lens can now take these capabilities a step further, overlaying location-based data to better understand where key factors are happening and why. This geo-enabled approach empowers teams to visualize everything from resource distribution and demographic patterns to logistical pathways and operational constraints, all within the familiar Decision Lens environment.
Blue Raster’s Role: Bringing Spatial Insights to the Forefront
As an Esri Gold Partner and a recognized leader in GIS development, Blue Raster was uniquely positioned to guide Decision Lens through every step of the integration process. The project required bridging robust decision-making analytics with the ArcGIS ecosystem in a way that was both seamless to the end user and easily scalable.
Custom JavaScript & GIS Development
Blue Raster leveraged its extensive JavaScript expertise to customize web components and build interactive GIS dashboards that plug directly into Decision Lens software. By writing clean, modular code, Blue Raster ensured that location-based features—like interactive maps, real-time data feeds, and geo-queries—fit naturally into existing Decision Lens workflows and user interfaces.
Expertise in the ArcGIS Platform
Beyond development, Blue Raster also provided key ArcGIS Platform guidance. This included best practices for managing spatial data, setting up secure services, and optimizing map performance. Whether pulling in live operational data or showcasing detailed basemaps and spatial layers, Blue Raster helped Decision Lens harness the full power of ArcGIS Online for geospatial analysis, visualization, and collaboration.
How the Integrated Solution Works
- Data Import & Preparation: Users can import location-relevant datasets into Decision Lens, whether those datasets originate from internal systems or publicly available sources.
- ArcGIS Online Mapping: Thanks to the custom JavaScript components, maps and spatial layers hosted on ArcGIS Online can be embedded seamlessly within Decision Lens interfaces.
- Geo-Visualization & Prioritization: Users can visualize and prioritize projects, budgets, or resources in real time, overlaying data layers to reveal patterns or gaps that would otherwise remain hidden.
- Collaboration & Decision-Making: Teams gain a single platform for capturing discussion points and making trade-off decisions, while simultaneously referencing geography-based metrics and trends.
Looking Ahead
As decision-making grows more complex, the ability to integrate geospatial insights with robust analytics will be crucial for many organizations. By working with Decision Lens, Blue Raster aims to continue driving innovation in the market—ensuring that stakeholders can see exactly where their decisions will have the most profound effect.
This ArcGIS Online integration gives organizations a unified platform to combine spatial context with performance metrics, enabling more informed, data-driven decisions. Whether planning capital investments, prioritizing projects, or optimizing limited resources, the combined power of Decision Lens and ArcGIS helps teams align strategies with real-world geography for measurable impact.
