\"GIS\"<\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands of organizations are using GIS to solve problems. But what is GIS, and how is it being used?<\/p>\n

GIS, or Geographic Information Systems<\/a>, is a technological field that incorporates geographical features with tabular data for one to map, analyze, and assess real-world problems. According to Esri<\/a>, the company that builds and manages ArcGIS<\/a>, \u201ca geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing things that exist and events that happen on earth.\u201d However, GIS is more than just a generated computer system and, in many ways, GIS can change the way we view the world.<\/p>\n

Geographic information systems operate on various levels.\u00a0 On the most basic level, geographic information systems technology is used as computer cartography or straightforward mapping. The real power of GIS is through using spatial and statistical methods to analyze attribute and geographic information giving one a deeper understanding of the layers of collective data.<\/p>\n

GIS works as a tool to help frame an organizational problem. The tool can help organizations make various analysis with acquired data, and to share results that can be tailored to different audiences through maps, reports, charts, and tables and delivered in printed or digital format. Geographic information systems allow organizations of all sizes and in almost every industry to better visualize, question, study, interpret and understand the relationships, patterns, and trends in their data.<\/p>\n
