ABOUT TECHNO BRAIN
ABOUT GIS
A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework. GIS gives us a new way to look at the world around us. With GIS you can:
• Map where things are • Map quantities • Map densities • Find what’s inside • Find what’s nearby
• Map change
GIS benefits organizations of all sizes and in almost every industry. There is a growing awareness of the economic and strategic value of GIS. The benefits of GIS generally fall into five basic categories:
• Cost savings and increased efficiency • Better decision making
• Improved communication • Better recordkeeping
• Managing and disseminating geographical information

GIS integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. GIS is important today because it is able to bring together information from multiple sources so that various types of work can be done. In order to do this though, the data must be tied to a specific location on the Earth's surface.
Latitude and longitude are usually used for this and the locations to be viewed are attached to their points on the geographic grid. Some major application areas include:
• Agriculture
• Water Resource Management • Land Management • Utility Management • Environment • Transportation • Facilities Management • Commercial Applications • GIS in Public Service • E-Government • Urban Management
• Property Valuation System • Asset Management System • Street Addressing System • Outdoor Advertising • Parking Management • Planning
• Health Facilities Inventory
We as Techno Brain have had experience in implementing similar projects some of which we have undertaken all alone while partnering in others . In addition to that we have well qualified expert professionals for this implementation. Our resources are highly experienced in developing various IT Solutions.
Majority of the resources have leadership qualities and have hands on international experience in latest technologies and also involved in delivery and client management for multiple projects across the globe.

E-GOVERNMENT
• Discovering patterns within distribution features, densities, and changes in geographic features over time • Iocating features on a map and determining what is in the
local area
• Routing resources
• Assigning work based on geographical utilization
Benefits
Location is at the interface of citizen and public services; harnessing location data through GIS can underpin effective local service delivery.
GIS data will map where a service delivery request occurs in relation to where the resource is available. This means that the department responsible for the service delivery can map the location of requests, services, and responses.
E-government is using the Internet and GIS to create more effective government. The combination of readily available Internet access and maps lets governments provide a new level of service to both businesses and the public. It is making collaboration between government agencies possible in new and powerful ways.
The strong data integration abilities of GIS let governments truly capitalize on data existing in legacy systems. GIS-enabled Web sites can provide services, such as online mapping, fee payment, and application submission, which were not previously available. Three categories of
E-government applications have developed: government to business, government to citizens, and government to government.

Benefits
No matter how large or small your community, planners mustdeal with spatial information: parcel data, zoning and land use data, addresses, transportation networks, and housing stock. As a planner, you also study and keep track of multiple urban and regional indicators, forecast future community needs, and plan accordingly to guarantee the quality of life for everyone in habitable communities.
Federal, regional, state, county, and local planning agencies have realized the power of enterprise GIS to identify problems, respond to them efficiently, and share the results with the public.
Urban management refers to the coordination and integration of public and private sector activities in an urban environment with the aim of building a more competitive, equitable and sustainable city.
The purpose of a Health inventory is:
• To provide information on the stock of health care facilities by location, level, ownership and staff functionality,
• To enable identification of underserved areas and thereby provide a guide for locating and/or sitting new health units. This should guide new construction of health units, and
• To guide effective planning for staffing and rational distribution of medicines and supplies

By incorporating GIS in Health Facilities management, we can harness the power of location awareness in decision making.
GIS allows us to create applications that show maps with different data sets. We can have roads, buildings, parcels of land-all in a single map.
This has the advantage of allowing the user to view the entire dataset as a whole, and not as disjoint pieces of information.
