Kyle Else’s Experience

Owner
TourSheet.com
(Information Technology and Services industry)
June 2007 — Present (2 years 2 months)
TourSheet.com has coined the term social placemarking, where people share and tag geographic things of interest to discover new locations and activities. When people group together sharing their place-based knowledge, values, and experiences electronically through social placemarks they can access thousands of hours of other people’s contributions. Also by grouping other people’s place-based experiences, it’s possible to spend less time searching for local knowledge and more time discovering personally tailored recommendations of the topics and things local communities value most.

I found that Seisan has a smart group of experienced staff that is unmatched in supporting clients to implement highly scalable and interactive mapping applications, on-time and on-budget. They have done some major work helping clients visualize on a map its geographic data into profitable strategies, discovering common trends, and helping to identify tailored targets. I developed, managed, and closed on seventy thousand dollars of new business. Wrote proposals and presented several demos of Seisan's technology. Also collaborated with staff in implementation based on the agreed client requirements.
