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.
