An authoritative guide to strategic planning and implementation of GIS

The Design and Implementation of Geographic Information Systems provides a unique nuts-and-bolts perspective of enterprise GIS design, a geographic information system that meets the needs of numerous users across multiple units in an organization. This hands-on guide offers in-depth, up-to-date material on issues of spatial data when designing and implementing enterprise GIS, along with insightful, illustrative examples.

From the predesign planning stages dealing with assessment, requirement analysis, organizational issues, and cost analysis, to integrating legacy MIS systems and preparing for future developments in database design, this user-friendly book addresses all the fundamental aspects of the design and implementation of GIS, regardless of software or hardware. It offers helpful "decision trees" to assist in strategic planning, as well as proven strategies for application development, interface design, and enabling Web-based access. Numerous case studies and examples from the private and public sectors demonstrate how these strategies and approaches play out in the real world.

As GIS becomes increasingly integrated with traditional MIS/IT database systems, GIS practitioners and MIS/IT managers will find The Design and Implementation of Geographic Information Systems a reliable, go-to resource.
