Why GIS?
Many organizations have been storing a lot of data in their legacy databases and only subjecting such data to common statistical analytics without the possibility of spatial visualization of the data. With GIS organizations can probe and examine their data spatially and thus be able to discover vital trends as pointers in reporting, decision making, prediction, etc.
GIS produces maps and reports that can give a vital insight and key information to decision makers in an organization. Mobile GIS also has leveraged on the power of location based services.
Geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial/geographical and non-spatial. It is composed of procedures and methods, data, software and people. GIS is used by organizations to spatially analyze patterns, as well discover location based services, patterns and change detection among other applications.
Our courses introduce participants to GIS, step by step from barebones basics to intermediate level. By the end of the course participants will be able create maps, work with various GIS data formats as well as get hand on experience in using ArcGIS software. However, our courses are designed in such a way that the participants can use any other GIS software in the market.
