Bringing In Gis (1)

摘要

GIS is often considered a solution in search of a problem, and GIS solutions are promoted as the cure for all business challenges. The authors advocate a top-down, rather than a technology-driven, solution and describe a methodology for identifying strategic objectives and representing how GIS can support them.rnAs advocates of GIS often discover, many barriers exist to finding funding for a technology-led project that gives priority to functionality over business value. A budget-holder will often lack knowledge regarding GIS and how it can positively impact business; occasionally, they even display cynicism as to its capacity for delivering value.
