GIS (geographic information system) is a set of tools used to interpret business and geospatial data. It integrates hardware, software, data, and services for processing business and geographically referenced data. GIS digitizes the received geospatial data and processes them to provide the desired output. Sectors such as national government, transportation, natural resources, military/law enforcement, utilities,communication, and telecom are the major end-users of GIS. Its other uses include disaster management, finding location details, viewing digital maps, marketing, and designing facilities. End-users across industries rely on GIS to enhance their productivity, decision-making ability, and safety and security standards. GIS is a major revenue contributor to the global geospatial industry.
