GIS
What is GIS?
Geographic information systems (GIS) or geospatial information systems are a set of tools used to capture, store, analyze, manage and present data linked to location(s). It digitally creates spatial areas for which a specific GIS is developed. This technology is used in a variety of planning purposes, from urban planning to land development.
Therefore, GIS describes any information system that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information for informing decision making. GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze spatial information, edit data, create maps, and present the results of all these operations.
At Borton-Lawson, we are currently utilizing GIS technologies for a variety of projects, with a list of just a few applications found below.
