| GIS
(Geographical Information Systems) provides the ability
to efficiently manage all of the geographic data used
daily. This is done by showing the data spatial patterns
and giving the capability to analyze it visually so it
is easily understood.
Almost any type of business can benefit from GIS; service
providers, direct mail marketing, industry, retail stores,
distributors and wholesalers. These businesses can use
GIS for planning, operations, site location, market
analysis, personnel, market monitoring and much more.
GIS is important for many government agencies; Administration,
Finance, Health and Safety, Management, Public Works,
Recreation, and Urban Development. Government agencies
can use GIS for planning, development management, land
records management, parks and recreation, transportation,
surveying, fire services, utilities management and much
more.
Many types of maps can be produced by using GIS; Lots
& Blocks, COGO, Topo, Contour, and Parcels.
