GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, are designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographically referenced data.  In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.  Often, those unfamiliar with the industry believe that GIS produces pretty - but inaccurate - maps.  With the involvement of our data collection and measurement experts, we can show you that this is a misconception.  Whether the data collection and creation of GIS layers for your database is completed by aerial, conventional, GPS, or GIS mapping techniques, we will discuss with you the cost-benefit of each, and prepare data “fit for a purpose.”  We offer a complete range of GIS services, including consulting, data collection, base mapping, data conversion, and geodatabase design....perfect for both small-scale visualization and planning exercises and for coordination with agency-wide CMMS or asset management systems.
