Enterprise Program for Agencies Needing Accurate, Accessible Land Data
How Skate's new Enterprise Program centralizes parcels, survey records, GIS layers, and infrastructure data — deployed the way your organization actually needs it.
By the Skate Team
Land and infrastructure data doesn't live in one place. It lives in county recorder databases, engineering archives, GIS servers, legacy PDFs, and the institutional memory of whoever has worked at an agency or firm the longest. For government agencies, land development teams, and field operations crews, that fragmentation isn't a minor inconvenience — it's a recurring cost measured in staff hours, stalled projects, and decisions made without the full picture.
Skate's new Enterprise Program was built to address that directly.
What Skate for Enterprise Is
The Skate Enterprise Program is the framework governing how Skate works with larger organizations — agencies, firms, and companies that need land and infrastructure data centralized, secured, and supported at scale. It covers everything from the first conversation through deployment, onboarding, and ongoing support, built on a simple premise: every organization's data, governance, and operational requirements are different, so the engagement should be too.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all package, each Enterprise engagement is scoped around the customer's operational, technical, and security requirements from day one. That means:
- Deployment options. Choose cloud-hosted deployment, fully managed by Skate's infrastructure team, or on-premises deployment when governance or policy requires it.
- White-glove support. A Forward Deployed Engineer is assigned to your engagement — supporting onboarding, platform configuration, technical implementation, and team training throughout.
- Security reviewed up front. Skate reviews security and compliance expectations during planning, before deployment begins, with a shared-responsibility model defined jointly with your team. Your organization retains full ownership and governance of its data throughout.
Enterprise Solution Built Around Real Workflows
Skate's Enterprise Program grew out of three recurring scenarios its team kept hearing from prospective customers — and each one maps to a core audience the platform now serves directly.
For Government Agencies: Right-of-Way Records
A surveyor working a routine project notices that a property deed doesn't match roadway improvements — new sidewalks, ADA ramps — completed after a right-of-way acquisition. Tracking down that acquisition documentation typically means calling the right department, filing a records request, and waiting weeks or months while the survey, and the project behind it, sits idle.
Skate centralizes right-of-way and acquisition documentation in one searchable location, so authorized staff can surface records directly instead of routing a request through departments that don't share a system. For agencies already using Skate's underlying land-use intelligence platform, that has translated into meaningful operational returns — planning and public works teams have reported recovering close to 1,800 staff hours a year, cutting permit cycle times by 30 to 50 percent, and reallocating the equivalent of a full-time position back to constituent-facing work.*
For Land Developers: Utility Infrastructure Planning
A development team preparing to connect a new commercial building to city water and sewer needs utility plans before design work can continue. Getting them usually means multiple requests to the right department, each on its own timeline that has nothing to do with the deal itself. Multiply that across every data layer a development team touches — zoning, easements, environmental constraints, subsurface conditions — and gaps can go unnoticed until after terms are already set.
Skate centralizes utility and infrastructure records so development teams can pull what they need in one search, with a complete picture before pricing is finalized. Complete diligence protects the underwriting; incomplete diligence tends to show up two years later, in a return that came in lower than modeled. Development teams using Skate have reported recovering up to 600 hours a year in data assembly time and reclaiming two to six deals a year that fragmented data would otherwise have cost them.*
For Field Operations Teams: Emergency Infrastructure Response
After a major storm, crews are dispatched to restore damaged underground infrastructure. Before repairs can start, field teams need accurate, current location data — and locating it across multiple disconnected systems adds difficulty to an already demanding response effort. Fragmented records don't just create delay; they create uncertainty for crews working around active utilities in difficult conditions.
Skate gives field personnel centralized, mobile-friendly access to infrastructure records, so crews can confirm what they're working around before they start. Reliable field data is a safety consideration as much as an operational one — and Skate's continuous monitoring keeps infrastructure records current between emergencies, not just during them.
Surveying and engineering firms see a version of this same pattern across nearly every project: the honest average is ten to fifteen separate data sources touched before a single field measurement is taken. Skate consolidates parcels, title, easements, zoning, utilities, and subsurface data into one AI-validated, versioned source, so the assembly work that used to take days happens before the project even starts.
An Incentive for Organizations That Share Data
Every Enterprise Program engagement opens with a three-month pilot: full platform access, no cost, no procurement lock-in. Organizations that contribute DXF survey files during onboarding and through subsequent months can get their trial extended, at full platform access, with no additional cost. The data contributed strengthens the sub-centimeter accuracy of the shared record, which benefits the contributing organization's own future lookups directly.
For agencies and firms contributing at volume, Skate's Enterprise team is also open to discussing adjusted pilot terms and enterprise pricing on a case-by-case basis. Organizations retain full ownership and governance of anything they contribute — the scope of any data-sharing arrangement is defined jointly, and nothing moves without agreement.
The Business Value
Across government, development, and field operations, the pattern is consistent: reduced time locating records, improved collaboration across departments and organizations, more efficient project planning, stronger field-operations support, and better access to historical infrastructure data. None of that requires an organization to change how it works — it requires one platform that already did the assembly.
Learn More About Skate's Cloud-Hosted Enterprise Solution
Skate's Enterprise Program is built for organizations that can't afford fragmented data—government agencies, land developers, field operations teams, and surveying and engineering firms—deployed cloud-hosted or on-premises, and supported by a Forward Deployed Engineer from day one.
