GIS integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.  Over 85% of decisions in municipal government involve location.  In one way or another, every department relies on geography to support its day-to-day operations.  GIS helps answer questions and solve problems by looking at data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.  Choosing sites, targeting market segments, responding to emergencies, or redrawing boundaries - all of these problems involve questions of geography.
