GIS, also known as a geographical information system, is an information system for capturing, storing, analyzing, managing and presenting data.
GIS allows people to make user created searches and allows people to analyze data/information. The
GIS can be used by many different people, for example it can be to find wetlands that need protection from pollution, or can be used by a company to site a new business location to take advantage of a previously under-served market. Overall it helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework.
In and article called
Technology REveals New Worlds to Map, Michelle Boivin uses the system for many things such as working with the military to gather and assess data to help manage military facilities on the West Coast.
