WHAT IS GIS?

• A collection of hardware, software and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information.

• With GIS you can link information to location data such as employees to addresses, property data to parcel information, and target customers to trade areas and consumer behavior.

• You can layer and statistically analyze this information within a map to get a better understanding of how it all works together, and create different layer combinations and analysis based on what questions you need to answer.

WHAT IS GIS?

• GIS is most associated with maps, but this is a limited view. A GIS can be viewed 3 ways:

• The DATABASE view – Fundamentally GIS is based on structured databases that describe and analyze content in geographic terms.

• The MAP view – A GIS is a set of intelligent maps that show features/relationships. Maps can be used as windows into the databases to support queries, analysis, viewing, and editing of information.

• The MODEL view – GIS is a set of data transformation tools that derive new datasets from existing datasets. In other words, by combining data and applying analytic functions / processes, you can create a model that helps answer questions you pose, and apply this model to multiple scenarios and locations.


WHAT IS GIS – The Bottom Line

• GIS can provide much more than a simple location / area map.

• GIS products are an extremely efficient way to visualize, analyze, and interpret data.

• By communicating a large amount of information succinctly, GIS provides a powerful and complete story about how things are, and/or how they will be.

• GIS can integrate and relate any data with a spatial component.
