About Enterprise GIS

An Enterprise GIS provides broad range access to geospatial data and applications throughout an organization. The overall goal of Enterprise GIS is to create a common infrastructure in the organization to enable access to geospatial data and solutions. Implementing an Enterprise GIS allows for the integration with other enterprise systems (SAP, ERP, CRM) and add the value of geographic information to those systems. Enterprise GIS also will increase your overall operating efficiency and therefore reduce costs to your operation. By moving to an Enterprise GIS, not only will GIS productivity increase but others with access to geospatial data will benefit in their analyses and decisions.
