What is GIS

Geographic information systems (GIS) are used to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and represent all types of geographical data. In addition, this geographic data can be correlated with other types of data to reveal (often otherwise not related) relationships, patterns, and trends, and, as a result, facilitate better analysis and decision making.

GIS technology has many applications - from geo-related inventory management to trend analysis based on your business data. It is widely used in the areas of engineering, planning, management, transportation/logistics, insurance, telecommunications, and business administrations.
