Forget the word "pivot". It's too vague to be helpful.
Rather, I would look for another instance of the same class.
You believe that your instance (converting GIS files from Format A to Format B) has no market. That may or may not be true. But I firmly believe that the Class "converting <x> from <y> to <z>" does have many instances with huge potential. There are tons of people and businesses using something that they would prefer was something else. Maybe an older version, format, or implementation. It could be anything. It's up to you to find them and identify what they need.
You already have one instance of "morphing", but it's not quite what you want. Find the right one.
- webstartupper 16y agoThanks. That makes sense and was a very interesting way of putting it.
- brudgers 16y agoConversion between mainstream file formats is built into many current GIS systems, and it will be hard to beat the software vendors at SHP conversion. I agree, there is a need for converting to and from unsupported unsupported formats. How that need creates a market would probably be at the level of converting an entire dataset rather than file by file. GIS conversion tends to be strategic and metadata is the bigger issue. Converting the file is only the first step. All the pain is afterwards.
