Simon


Following on from my research and development work for Laser-Scan, and a few years of using their excellent products, I became the first Certified Practioner for Radius Studio (I am also one for Radius Topology as well). This is what Dr Michael Sanderson, CEO of Laser-Scan said:

“We have been working with Simon for the last 3 or so years. He has consistently provided pertinent feedback on the tools we have released in the Oracle spatial technology stack. He is a total enthusiast in the spatial domain. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon as a Radius Studio Practitioner.”


A small consultancy benchmarking an Oracle Locator/Spatial database for a customer in Victoria, Australia.

“Simon has performed Status Analysis of our ORACLE developments at Hume City Council and compiled a detailed report. The Report contained many useful recommendations of things to fix and things to follow up in the future and was prepared in high quality.”

This one was written by Marco Giana, an excellent web-developer currently working for ESRI Ireland in Dublin. Marco worked for me when I was GIS Manager at Forestry Tasmania (FT).

“While working with Simon at FT, I found him to be a fair and excellent manager, with knowledge of GIS and IT greater than anyone else I have worked with. He is very resourceful and extremely innovative, always a forward thinker on how to utilise in place and new technologies. Simon is definitely a great asset for any project/company. I highly recommend him.”

Jamie Keene was one of my staff when I was GIS Manager at Forestry Tasmania (FT). Jamie was a reliable and hard-working team player who blossomed under my watch into someone with strong cross-platform GIS development skills. He now works as an Senior Spatial Analyst for a company in Victoria providing, amongst other things, Oracle Spatial development skills.

“I would recommend Simon Greener to any organisation or person who is seeking sound advice on spatial data management and system design. At Forestry Tasmania he took a infrastructure that required specific knowledge of data locations and software, and moulded it into a infrastructure that centralised data locations (database, directory structures) and used best of breed applications (GIS and non-GIS).”

Sivagurunathan Chinniah was an IT developer at Forestry Tasmania (FT) and implemented a multi-threaded Web Mapping Service in C#.NET using one of my architecture designs. The design used used Microsoft Message Queues (MSMQ), ASP.NET and published a internet mapping API via WebServices and SOAP. Siva now works as a technical architectur for the Public Sector Mapping Authority. It was his brilliant programming skills that should get the credit for the implementation. This is what he says:

“I worked with Simon Greener at Forestry Tasmania in 2005 on his brilliant brainchild project named Web Mapping Services.I found him to be visionary, highly intelligent with exceptional talent and I greatly admire his remarkable multitasking capabilities. Though I don’t work with him anymore, personally, he still takes his time to provide me complete and comprehensive answers to my questions for free on spatial technologies indicative of a person with high standards in the subject. He would prove to be a valuable asset for any organisation. I highly recommend him.”

Brendan Soustal is GIS Manager at MidCoast Water based at Forster (near Taree), NSW. Brendan is a young, talented and very capable geospatial professional who knows that the data he manages is there to support the engineers within MidCoast Water responsible for the creation, management and maintenance of the sewer and water network within their area of operations. This strong focus is reflected in his always targeting the data quality improvement and reporting work he gets me to do towards improving his organisation’s decision making. This is what he says:

“We have been using Simon as our Spatial DB advisor for about 2 years now and have found him to deliver not only innovative solutions, but substantial ROI on our spatial information. His strong work ethic and personality make him a pleasure to work with and his ability to automate and value-add within the database environment make him a valuable asset to our organisation. I would strongly recommend him for any Oracle Spatial, database, SQL, Radius Topology or Studio project.”
