The goal of this thesis is to provide a modern, extensible implementation of mapping and location services for the newly developed Financial Advisory Services applications in the Partners Financial Services company. These new systems are internal, public, customer and financial advisor facing and use mapping and location services to navigate users, customer support operators and financial advisors to match them with required appropriate counterparts based on location as one of the criteria.

The thesis shall deliver a proof of concept implementation that replaces the current, legacy implementation dated 10 years ago.

The thesis shall have at least the following deliverables:
1. Proof of concept integration into the Orfeus system (Proprietary information system for Independent Financial Advisors) implemented in TypeScript (using the React library) and PHP.
2. A comprehensive suite of integration tests.
3. Developer documentation to guide developers in integrating mapping and location services into other information systems and web applications used across Partners Financial Services portfolio.

The thesis shall also answer the following questions:
1. What are the current, appropriate services and software libraries to integrate mapping and location services into modern applications? What are their advantages and disadvantages and which key criteria were used in deciding which particular service or library will be used?
2. What is the key motivation and benefits of integrating mapping and location services into information systems in the Independent Financial Advisory domain.

The subject of the thesis is to implement a new functionality into a proprietary software system. All software components are subject to a proprietary license owned by Partners Financial Services.
To fully demonstrate quality and scope of the deliver work, the thesis or its appendices shall contain at least the following deliverables:
1.  Selected illustrative segments of the application's source code.
2. A full implementation of tests of the delivered functionality and test reports from test execution indicating the test quality.
3. A pre-recorded webinar created by the student demonstrating the full functionality of the provided implementation.
4. The explanation of the integration points used to integrate the new functionality into the proprietary system.
