ASETS is available to provide technical assistance with the navigation of the wide range of spatial and information technology development and implementation possibilities that exist today.

The following services are envisioned in support of research, outreach, and teaching activities related to spatially-explicit ecological interests. Solutions can be developed using either proprietary and open-source technologies. Many major commercial software developers license their systems for domestic use only.

Open source technologies will typically be better suited for international projects due to the low cost of ownership and the ability to legally transfer solutions to international collaborators.
