What is Enterprise GIS?
Enterprise GIS (EGIS) is a comprehensive system for managing, analyzing, and
visualizing geographic data within an organization. It integrates GIS technology
with other enterprise systems to support decision-making, improve operational
efficiency, and enhance collaboration across various departments or functions.

EGIS enables centralized data management, advanced spatial analysis, and

seamless integration with business processes. It is used in diverse industries
such as government, utilities, transportation, and healthcare for applications
including urban planning, asset management, environmental monitoring, and
emergency response.

EGIS facilitates data-driven decision-making, cost savings, and better resource

management, making it a valuable tool for organizations leveraging spatial data
to achieve their goals.
