Geographic Information System or GIS is a system that creates, manages and helps people analyze data. You can think of GIS as a system that connects information or data so you can visually see in a form of a map. This feature allows users to visually see their data and understand trends, behaviors, patterns, economic relationships, geographic relationships, and much more. The benefit of visually seeing data via maps is to convey ideas and relationships with better efficiency and communication which ultimately result in strategic decision making.
