Welcome to the World of Geography!

The first ones who methodically started to survey and map their ownership were the ancient Romans. However, as far as we know, they did not use computers … Today an exciting new technology called Geographic Information Systems or GIS brings together the power of computing and the techniques of geography, cartography and spatial analysis.

What are Geographic Information Systems?

Geographic applications on computers have existed almost as long as computers have existed themselves. Why is it then, that this technique is unknown to most people? One reason is that in the first decades of their use, applications in the geographic area were for the most part very technical and almost exclusively academic so that the systems were only used by a tiny crowd of experts. Another reason is that some systems were (and are) so immensely complicated to use, that no normal human being could even dream that they could sit at the controls, so to speak.

What are these Geographic Information Systems (GIS) now? It is very difficult to find a definition that covers every-thing that calls itself GIS. It is helpful to reflect on what people did before computers came to dominate the field. An encyclopedia, filing cabinet or box of file cards held our information. An atlas or map chest held locations. Both needed an index to help find what we were looking for, both fed their contents into our calculations and evaluations, supported where appropriate by slide rule or log tables. Properly handled, this was a GIS - but not one that matched the power, speed, flexibility, coordination or distribution capability of its computer-based counterpart. The components however do have their modern equivalent: Databases and Graphics. GIS is a combination of the two.

In today’s increasingly dynamic marketplace, companies need to develop a competitive edge. TYDAC can help you to achieve that edge by using the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS offers you three advantages to support business decisions:

• It can integrate critical information from internal corporate databases and numerous external data sources in ways not possible with traditional information systems;

• You can look at environmental, cadastral, customer, competitor and marketing data in a highly accessible visual format, improving your understanding of underlying trends;

• Through advanced spatial analysis techniques, you can gain insights into environmental hazards, land ownership, customer behavior, market conditions, business trends and so on, which will contribute to your success.
