Formation of Corporate GIS Strategies
Aruna Technology Ltd. have the knowledge and expertise to undertake GIS feasibility studies to determine whether the installation of a GIS is feasible for an organization in terms of the costs versus the anticipated returns. Like all information systems and information technology, a GIS exists to support decision-making. GIS provides an organization with an environment for making decisions that take account of spatial location and spatial relationships.
Aruna Technology Ltd. will consider how your organization uses spatial data, and whether current workflows can be automated. If it can be proven that automating your existing processes is possible (alongside the development of new processes if required) then there exists the basis for a system objective. However, be warned that all of these benefits can be notoriously difficult to prove in financial terms ! Research has shown that the benefits of GIS typically spread far beyond one single factor, some of which may not even have been thought of at the conception of the project.
In determining your corporate GIS strategy, we will seek to answer the following type of questions to determine if the implementation of a GIS will support your current business objectives:
- What existing mechanisms exist to collect, store and retrieve locational or geographic information?
- What volumes and formats are handled?
- How accurate is the information itself?
- What and where are the barriers to effective information processing and how much do they cost to perpetuate?
- What added-value benefits would GIS deliver?
- What alternatives to GIS could be adopted, how effective might they be and what would they cost?
- Who would be the end users? Where are they and how many of them are there?
- What performance would be required of a GIS in terms of speed of access and response?
- What data volumes would be anticipated? and
- How much existing paper-based archive material would need to be converted into a digital format? How long would this take? What cost would be involved?
What is GIS?
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is an information system that is designed to work with data referenced by spatial or geographic coordinates. In other words, a GIS is both a database system with specific capabilities for spatially referenced data, as well as a set of manipulation and analysis functions that can be applied to the data.
