Our History
Why Crossroads Was Founded
Established in 2015 by founder Michael Chapiesky, Crossroads GIS Solutions has made significant strides in the field of GIS. Prior to this entrepreneurial venture, Michael retired from a suburban Chicago police department and transitioned to a role as a trainer for Spillman Software. His area of expertise was imparting GIS training to new entrants to Spillman, a position that had him traveling extensively across the United States.
Michael soon noticed a gap in the market – many smaller agencies lacked dedicated personnel for the maintenance of their GIS databases. Trained staff often either forgot their training, retired, or were too busy with other tasks to commit sufficient time to the GIS databases. Identifying this unmet need, Michael devised a plan to establish a cost-effective solution that would cater to these crucial GIS service requirements.
Starting with a northern Wisconsin Sheriff’s office, Crossroads GIS Solutions quickly expanded its reach. As the business grew, Michael enlisted the help of his former colleague, Neil Sexton, a recent retiree from the same police department. Neil’s expertise as a system administrator for a shared agency Spillman server, combined with Michael’s specialty in GIS, created a comprehensive solution that was much needed in the market.
Helping Small Agencies to Large Counties
Currently, Crossroads GIS Solutions continues on a trajectory of expansion, having established a presence in 10 states with almost 30 clients. Our clientele ranges from small agencies serving a single police department in a town of 5,000 residents, to large counties with over half a million residents and a 911 center that dispatches for multiple police, fire, and EMS agencies. To accommodate this growing client list, we have consistently brought on board additional staff, often with prior experience in Spillman or public safety.
Our team maintains proficiency in GIS and Spillman / Flex software. We frequently present at both regional and state-level user groups and continually further our knowledge through ongoing training. Michael recently achieved the distinguished GIS Professional (GIS-P) certification, a testament to our commitment to excellence in this field.
At Crossroads GIS Solutions, we stand ready to partner with you on your GIS projects, delivering the superior results you expect and deserve.
