Geographic Information System (GIS), in the simplest terms, is digital mapping. It is an integration of maps and databases which provides a new platform for information to be collected, stored, analyzed, and presented beyond traditional means (i.e., printed maps).

And while it has been around for decades, advancements in technology has rendered it more useful and relevant in addressing various, everyday challenges. New approaches in the application of GIS are integral to solving operative and logistical problems, and even the seemingly mundane.

Where should you put up your next café if you’re an entrepreneur who wishes to expand your enterprise? How do you capitalize on fresh produce as a restaurateur who works hand-in-hand with farmers? As an engineer, how do you plan cost-effective, farm-to-market roads that will ensure faster transport of fresh ingredients? How can you monitor and address the need for more forest cover as an environmentalist? If you’re a public servant, how do you ensure that your community is equipped with the necessary information and proper plan of action to mitigate the effects of flooding during typhoon season?

Through GIS, we can help you answer these questions—and more.
