Geographic information systems for government from IBM and ESRI (en inglés)
Integrate geographic data across your organization
From asset and resource location awareness and logistics planning to tax assessment, emergency response and crime data analysis, governing organizations rely on geographically related data. Integrating geographic information systems (GIS) with government applications, such as asset management, water management, crime information warehousing and emergency response can extend the value of those applications by increasing accuracy, efficiency and productivity.
Collect, manage and analyze geospatial data for better governing
GIS solutions for government from IBM and ESRI are designed to help your organization manage and deliver spatial data by geographic location, and integrate this data with existing applications. This can help you visualize scenarios, extend intelligence, make more informed decisions and address complex issues such as:
- Asset management—gather and summarize data across geographic locations, track the movement of assets over time, and identify trends and predict future events with greater accuracy by analyzing and visualizing asset use patterns.
- Water management—use sophisticated sensor networks, and apply advanced computing and analytics to support better-informed water policy and management decisions.
- Crime prevention—integrate data collected through global positioning systems (GPS) into a new repository of consistent, accurate information, which is then presented in multiple business views, including offenses or incidents, dispatch history and arrests.
- Emergency response—integrate existing systems based on GPS and radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensors to provide seamless communications, incident response management, desktop mapping and real-time collaboration.
To share and visualize this data, IBM provides interconnected support, through database management, for ESRI’s rich product set in order to work seamlessly across your organization. Your users can access intelligence about GIS data using browser-based desktop or mobile clients, and enable applications and services for spatial data management, visualization and spatial analysis.
