Government

GIS plays a significant part in the day-to-day functions of information gathering agencies; the way this information is distributed to other agencies and organizations, and how it is disseminated to the public. Across government, agencies are integrating ESRI software solutions as a central component in building a strong GIS.

By integrating GIS with government processes, staff can

• Create an information base that shares information resources, reduces data redundancy, and increases data accuracy.  
• Perform joint project analysis and provide decision support.
• Streamline processes to increase efficiency, automate tasks, and save time and money.

Geography is a framework for organizing our global knowledge and GIS is a technology for being able to create, manage, publish and disseminate this knowledge for all of society. GIS strengthens the welfare of a nation's citizens.
