Geographic Approach
Science seeks to classify the behavior of the world into generalized laws and then apply those universal laws to all things. However, location implies a unique position on the landscape - and land variations impart unique characteristics that defy such scientific generalization. Consequently, the performance and interaction of technology and business process change as a function of landscape and environment. TGI Systems builds tools, methods, and services that:
- Maximize the benefit of specific locations through the scientific adjustment of engineering systems and business process approaches.
- Organize and integrate information based upon location and proximity to other entities.
- Analyze the interactions between systems based upon their separation and/or proximity of system components.
This is a common argument within the discipline of geography where land may be viewed as either idiographic or nomothetic. The prior definition implies a landscape of uniqueness where universal generalizations cannot describe the variation between places. A nomothetic approach states that all things must fit universal laws.
There is little doubt this argument will continue for some time, however, TGI Systems has found that technology has become more flexible than land use. This makes sense because technology has been progressing as rapidly as our cities, governments, and changing information needs.
This leaves local landscape as the external set of constraints, with technology the design variable (not the traditional approach of applying the same technology anywhere!). This understanding provides us with the tools to understand the conflict between competing environmental, engineering, and socioeconomic systems. From this starting point, TGI Systems applies the tool of proactive optimization where technology is optimized to the environment and socioeconomic system it must function within.

Company History
The central focus of TGI Systems LLC is the integration of information through the use of location. The firm also reflects mathematical roots in technology design based upon the optimization of engineering, environmental, and socio-economic criteria. All company endeavors center on thinking out-of-the-box to develop improved business solutions. TGI Systems is the evolutionary result of two prior firms.
The first form was Wyman Real Estate Company running from 1986 through 1997. Here, the importance of location and the distribution of services across the landscape were learned. Terra Genesis, a second firm was operated from 1997 through 2012, focusing on the use and development of spatial data within relational and geographic information systems. TGI
Systems takes the next step, with a direct focus on enterprise information and process integration:
- 1999 - 2000 Hong Kong Transport Information System Conceptual Design: an initiative to integrate the data and processes across three government agencies and a variety of private transport providers. The tools pioneered here form the basis of TGI Systems business methodologies.
- 2002 - 2006 Texas Department of Transportation GIS Architecture and Infrastructure Project: a three year project exploring spatial data integration processes and GPS-integrated linear referencing systems.
- 2006 - 2023 Navajo County Information System: an on-going enterprise-wide data integration project, currently spanning work management, building permits, highway management, fleet maintenance, treasury, civil law, business permits, medical examiner, birth certificates, e911, flood control, and others.
- 2008 - Navajo County Cadastral Mapping Tools: an web-map application for local parcel and ownership research, tax payment, and spatial intersect processes.
These tool have been deploy to two other Arizona Counties.
- 2010 - Present WyPoint Business Management Software: a set of integrated tools were created for WyPoint to provide door-to-door delivery and mapping functions. The tool also include machine protocols to communicate with robotic assembly system, well as point-of-sale, customer management, general ledger, and employee tools.
- 2013 - 2014 Battery-Switching Station Location Optimization: a two year mathematical methods project used in the location of electric vehicle battery service stations across Europe.
The diversity of this work reflects the ideals and relationships of the interests and technical capability of TGI Systems LLC.
- 2023 - Delta Centrifugal Carbon Footprint Calculation: using a web-drive calculation tool TGI-Systems, LLC, calculates the carbon impact of complex industrial processes.
- 2024 - Present Midstream Operators Contractor Management System: a set of web tools and intelligent business rules used to manage timesheets and billing across multiple oil-producing fields.
- 2024 - Present School of Saints Congregation Management:
a single location for the coordination of policies and approach for a nationwide non-secular organization (see https://schoolofsaints.azurewebsites.net).
