The Power of Mapping
A geographic information system (GIS) lets us visualize, question,
analyze, and interpret data to understand relationships, patterns, and
trends.
GIS benefits organizations of all sizes
and in almost every industry. There is a growing interest in and
awareness of the economic and strategic value of GIS
.
Cost Savings from Greater Efficiency
GIS is widely used to optimize maintenance schedules and daily fleet movements.
Typical implementations can result in a savings of 10 to 30 percent in operational expenses through reduction in fuel use and
staff time, improved customer service, and more efficient scheduling.
GIS helped the City of Woodland refine its fleet scheduling, saving fuel and labor
Better Decision Making
GIS is the go-to technology for making better decisions about
location. Common examples include real estate site selection,
route/corridor selection, evacuation planning, conservation, natural
resource extraction, etc. Making correct decisions about location is
critical to the success of an organization.

Improved Communication
GIS-based maps and visualizations greatly assist in understanding
situations and in storytelling. They are a type of language that
improves communication between different teams, departments,
disciplines, professional fields, organizations, and
the public. Michels Corporation improved collaboration and communication
with GIS
Better Record Keeping
Many organizations have a primary responsibility of maintaining
authoritative records about the status and change of geography. GIS
provides a strong framework for managing these types of records
with full transaction support and reporting tools.
ROI on Montana's GIS-based statewide cadastral system is more than
$9 million annually.
Managing Geographically
GIS is becoming essential to understanding what is happening and what
will happen in geographic space. Once we understand, we can prescribe
action. This new approach to management—managing geographically—is
transforming the way organizations operate. Kuwait University used GIS
to design and build a multibillion-dollar expansion.
