Facilities What is GIS?
 
"A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing things that exist and events that happen on earth. GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps".—ESRI

By linking data to maps, a GIS map can reveal patterns and associated relationship not apparent with traditional item-referenced information systems and database management products, and by displaying information in a graphic form can communicate complex spatial patterns succinctly.
