  • Rating12345

WAYNE, Pa., Nov.  19, 2015 — For centuries, geography has intrigued the world. What lies just beyond our view? How is our planet changing? What does it all mean? With the many advancements of the GIS industry, we can now view our world in ways never thought possible even a few years ago. The GIS industry revolutionized the way we view data. 

A geographical information system (GIS) is a system designed to handle all types of spatial data. GIS can help people or organizations better understand their data through visualization. Utilized in industries of all sizes, GIS is a powerful force for managing data integrity and capture.  As a leader in the asset management industry for over 30 years, AssetWorks understands the importance of data integrity and visualization. To show our appreciation for all the GIS industry has done for data and to celebrate GIS Day, AssetWorks created a timeline infographic on the history of GIS.
