Understanding the STA Logger Subscription

We take immense pride in our commitment to environmental stewardship and cutting-edge geospatial solutions. Our flagship offering, the STA logger, isn’t just a piece of hardware; it’s a transformative tool that revolutionizes weed management and planting equipment tracking. Today, we’re excited to delve into the essential aspects of our subscription, shedding light on what it truly covers and the value it brings to your operations.

First and foremost, our subscription is more than just a fee – it’s an investment in the future of your business and the environment. The cornerstone of our subscription covers access to ArcGIS Online, a powerful geospatial platform provided by our partners, Esri Inc. ArcGIS Online is the heartbeat of our system, providing a secure and reliable environment for storing, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data. It provides smaller organisations with the opportunity of having access to a cheap, lightweight GIS, while provides fantastic integration potential for larger organisations.

Let’s explore the specifics of what this covers:

On demand data processing: Your data is processed 24/7 and includes the creation and upload of your data products. It also includes creation and handling of backups, as well as built in error checking and reporting.

ArcGIS Licensing: To set yourself up with ArcGIS Online, you need an organization account. This brings your team many capabilities, but with the STA logger, you don’t need to go that far. If your team doesn’t have an organization account with your own users, we can supply you with our Partner licenses, which mean you get exactly what you need to use the STA logger system, without the need for a full ArcGIS organization account.

Hosting and Storage Costs: Your subscription covers the hosting and storage of your STA logger data on ArcGIS Online. This means you don’t have to worry about setting up complex server infrastructure or managing data storage. It’s all taken care of in our readily accessible system, allowing you to focus on utilizing the data to make informed decisions for your environmental and operational needs.

Security: Data security is a paramount concern in today’s digital landscape. With our subscription, you can rest assured that your valuable STA logger data is protected by Esri’s robust security measures. This includes encryption, authentication, and access controls, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of your data.

System Maintenance: The STA logger system is well designed and robust. It automatically goes about its business. However, we have humans involved every step of the way to ensure everything is going to plan. Our technicians perform processing and upload checks, web application and performance checks and perform server maintenance.

Support: If you encounter any issues or need assistance, our experts are ready to help, ensuring minimal disruptions to your operations.

Backups: We maintain several copies of your data through our workflow for redundancy. If something happens to one copy, we can rely on another. Check out our blog on backups for more information.

Archives: Old data is kept in our archives which you can download at any time. Check out our blog on archives for more information.

Development: We are continually reviewing and improving our product based on user feedback. This knowledge manifests into software, web application and firmware updates that make your product better today than it was when you first got it.

TerraLab’s Services: Our subscription isn’t just about the software and infrastructure; it encompasses the exceptional services we provide. TerraLab plays a pivotal role in developing web applications that streamline the visualization and interpretation of your STA logger data. Our team is dedicated to continuously enhancing these applications, ensuring they align with your evolving needs.

Not only does the subscription bring all of these benefits, but it also helps your team demonstrate compliance and can actually be a cost saver through efficiency.

As a forward-thinking environmental and geospatial consultancy, we recognize the significance of technology in driving positive change. The STA logger subscription, beyond its tangible elements, embodies our shared commitment to environmental sustainability, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. By leveraging the power of ArcGIS Online, you’re not only optimizing your operations but also contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.

When you invest in the STA logger subscription, you’re investing in a comprehensive solution that covers ArcGIS licensing, hosting and storage, security, TerraLab’s exceptional services, and ongoing support. This holistic approach ensures that you have the tools, resources, and expertise needed to unlock the full potential of your STA logger data.
