What is GIS?

A map gives you spatial information.  It shows you where one feature is in relation to others around it.

A database is a collection of records in a computer system. You can query for certain subsets of data, but you can%u2019t see a visual representation of how your data relates to the real world.

GIS brings the two together, combining maps and databases in a way that allows you to access information stored in your database about each feature on a map%u2014simply by clicking on that feature.  It%u2019s a powerful way to store, analyze, manipulate, and display data.

Better GIS at a Better Price.

InteractiveGIS%u2122, Inc. is an industry leader in GIS technology.  Originally developed for NASA, our core spatial engine, MapServer, has been adapted for use in GIS mapping and database software.  With iGIS%u2122, we offer a stable, highly adaptable web-based GIS software at a fraction of the cost you%u2019ll get with our competitors.

Want a GIS? All you need to start is a PC and some data.  We can provide a solution that works within your budget and with the data you have.  Find out what we do better than other web-based systems on the market.

We Save You Time.

You%u2019ve got developers, the school board, and the utility department all clamoring to get information from you. If you don%u2019t have a GIS, chances are you have to spend time poring over maps to find the answers. If you already use a GIS, you%u2019ll probably download the information they%u2019re after onto a disc. It%u2019s less time-consuming than using hardcopy maps%u2014but you still have to go into the system, find the info, and burn it.

iGIS%u2122 software is entirely online, and we provide as many levels of security as you need. You can allow developers, your utility department, and your school board access to only the information they need. Simply issue a password and let each person find their own information in the system. This can take the pressure off your staff.
