You can use GIS to combine and interpret data from many different formats, including satellite images, CAD drawings, and parcel maps. GIS allows you to create a visual overview of a project and turn it into reports that clearly reflect the situation.

A GIS database gives you the ability to handle rich data types and apply sophisticated rules and relationships. You can implement smart business logic that, for example, builds topologies and geometric networks, validates data, and controls access.
