A simple process lets you apply GIS to any business or organizational problem that requires a geographic decision: Define Problem – Define the problem. What is the question you wish the software to solve? Define Solution – What output is required to answer the question? Identify Data – Acquire the data required for the geographic scope of the project. This will direct methods of data collection Prepare Data – How is the data organised, how accurate is it, and what is the lineage of the data? Execute Analysis – Analysis is the core strength of GIS. Esri GIS modelling tools make it relatively easy to discover patterns, trends and relationships Examine and Present – The results of analysis can be shared through reports, maps, tables, and charts and be delivered in printed format or digitally over a network. Operational Benefits The use of GIS technology to manage data allows organisations to combine multiple layers of business information geospatially. This can show new patterns and trends that otherwise may have been missed in a tabular or written visualisation of the same data and therefore improve the decision making process. Maps and visualisations greatly assist in our understanding of situations and can improve communication between different teams, departments and organisations. GIS can be also be used to take a situation and model multiple scenarios to help understand and analyse different combinations for planning and analysis. Many organisations have a primary responsibility of maintaining authoritative records about the status and change of geography and a GIS provides a strong framework for managing this data.
