GIS (geographic information systems) are internally referenced automated information systems that handle both geographic (locational) and attribute (descriptive) data for the purpose of data mapping, managing and analysis.

Because data are spatially referenced (rectified) to a coordinate system and each ‘map-like’ layer is aligned or tied together (registered), GIS is a powerful tool for decision making because of it’s ability to compare multiple aspects on the earth’s surface simultaneously that share little more than common ‘geography’.

Spatial Analytics, Inc. combines GIS with the appropriate geographical subfield and related data, spatial analysis techniques and trained personnel to provide our clients with spatial solutions to real-world problems to make informed decisions or better utilize and manage existing resources.
