At BIS GIS we have a team of dedicated technicians performing map creation operations. We specialize in creating many of the layers which an appraisal district and cities offices utilize such as: Parcels Streets City Limits County Line Subdivisions Water and Sewer Abstracts 911 Addressing The process begins by analyzing what your needs are and recommending a list of possible solutions to fit your needs. We then gather a variety of source documents such as deeds, plats, surveys, and meets and bounds descriptions and begin converting this data into GIS layers which perfectly fit on top of aerial images. This data then goes through a quality assurance process where we make sure your data meets all standards before it is finally delivered to you.

Protect your GIS investment by ensuring your data is accurately maintained and updated. We can offer a solution to ensure your GIS is always current and accurate. Our team specializes in maintaining all the layers that appraisal districts and city offices utilize.

A well planned and efficient design is crucial to the success to a geodatabase implementation. Our team has the knowledge and expertise to help you design a logical GIS database design. We will walk you through every step of the process, from preliminary planning to schema creation.

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. Our team can help you every step of the way to ensure you meet all the goals and objectives your GIS department needs to achieve.

A needs assessment is the first major step in implementing a successful GIS within an organization. Conducting a GIS needs assessment fosters cooperation and enhanced communication among departments by working together on a common technology and new set of tools.
The needs assessment activity is composed of:

• Interviewing and documenting the needs of potential GIS users
• Studying Legal Issues and Data Security
• Reviewing Quality Assurance and Quality Control Issues
• Studying Training and Educational Issues related to GIS Implementation
• Compiling the results of the needs assessment into a list of GIS functions and a master data list.

At the conclusion of a needs assessment, an organization will have all of the information needed to plan the development of a GIS system.

• Required GIS functionality. – For a given organization, certain functions will be required, such as the standard operations of spatial analysis functions, query and display such as routing, overlay analysis, buffering, and possibly advanced analysis requiring special programming.
• Necessary GIS data. – Many agencies use data that has a spatial component. Much of this data are hard copy maps or tabular data sets that have a spatial identifier such as addresses and zip codes or X-Y values (latitude-longitude, state plane coordinates, or other coordinate system). A needs assessment will identify how this information will be used by GIS applications.
• Customized GIS Applications needs. - In evaluating the responsibilities and workflow within an organization, certain tasks are identified that can be done more efficiently or effectively in a GIS. These tasks will form the basis of GIS applications. Application descriptions prepared, as part of the needs assessment will describe these tasks.

Procedures for maintaining GIS data. - By looking at the workflow and processes within and between departments, responsibility for data creation, updates and maintenance will become apparent.

Our team specializes in developing Internet GIS and web-enabled database applications, as well as database-driven web sites that provide clients with the ability to manage resources and leverage information.

BIS GIS programmers and developers have proven experience developing web-based applications using tools such as JSP, ASP, .NET, ColdFusion, XML, XSL, HTML, DHTML, AJAX, Adobe Flex, MS Silverlight and Java.  We specialize in developing Internet GIS and web-enabled database applications, as well as database-driven web sites that provide clients with the ability to manage resources and leverage information.

With this service you will be able to provide the public with real time database information.  Take it a step further and you can display this data by linking it to your GIS data or a web mapping site which give you a geographical representation of the data.

This product is very affordable and extremely easy to maintain so everybody wins.

We know you realize the value of distributing information to the public and others; however, there are times when you just don’t have the expertise or the time to perform some of these projects. No matter how big our small the project is our staff is ready to provide you with the solutions you need.

Our staff will use your GIS data to provide you with customized maps. Some examples of these maps include:

• County Map
• City Map
• Subdivision Map
• Sales Map
• Ownership Map
• Buffer Map

All these will be customized to display any fields you need such as Property ID’s, Streets, Owner Names, or any other attribute data you may want. Prices vary depending on map size, number of copies, and complexity of the map.

The GIS and IT functions are interrelated. We can help you with the assessment, purchase, and implementation of any computer software, hardware, or GIS software. We can also help by providing you with on-site technical support at an affordable hourly rate. We are here to answer any question you may have.
