A Geographic Information System (GIS) brings together many data sources at an enterprise level to reveal how everything is related spatially. This is location intelligence and it's a way to make smarter business decisions. From mapping where customers live and shop, to where opportunity is being missed, nearly everything impacting a business becomes a decision-making layer across the organization. By using geographic thinking, industries like logistics, finance, real estate, and manufacturing are mapping large amounts of data to open up new ideas and find new opportunities.
