GIS Development
Wuduwudu offers GIS solutions to organizations at a very competitive rates due to our ability in the use of both proprietary and open-source software.
What GIS is
A Geographic Information system (GIS), also known as a Geographical Information System, is a system for capturing, storing, analyzing and managing data and associated attributes which are spatially referenced to the Earth.
Simply put, it is a system (computer based) that allows you to manipulate the information associated to locations to make decisions.
Specific Example
An example of such a setup that could benefit from a GIS would be, a factory that delivers its goods to retailers. The point being, the retailers would be scattered across the country and therefore, a system containing the positions of the retailers and their corresponding attributes (information pertaining to retailers in question) could then be manipulated to affect company policy.
Why an Organization needs GIS
The service an organization provides generally is affected by its interaction with the world at large.
Geographic Information Systems, spring from the needs of people in organizations to do work, answer questions, and generally interact with the world and the people and organizations in it. An Information System is supposed
to support the work, to make it quicker to do with more consistent results, and to provide high levels of confidence in the output.
Ideally, if your setup’s operations are connected in any way to spatial elements, i.e. location based, then a GIS would be a definite plus.
A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a system composed of 5 elements.
People—the users of the system
- Applications—the processes and programs they use to do their work
- Data—the information needed to support those applications
- Software—the core GIS software
- Hardware—the physical components on which the system runs
At wuduwudu, we provide you with 1., 2., and 3. i.e. the Applications, Software and data. We also make sure the apllications are simple for you to use and understand.
Other Uses of GIS
Geographic information system technology can be used for scientific investigations, resource management, asset management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Urban planning, cartography, criminology, history, sales, marketing, and logistics. For example, GIS might allow emergency planners to easily calculate emergency response times in the event of a natural disaster, GIS might be used to find wetlands that need protection from pollution, or GIS can be used by a company to site a new business to take advantage of a previously underserved market.
