More effective use of inhouse information by GIS

Abstract

GIS (Geographic Information System), a system using digital map data, has not been in wider use but among local governments or among some power users who are engaged in area marketing. On the other hand, over these five years it has been said that ones enable to use about 80% of the whole inhouse data more efficiently if they post that data over map data in GIS. Companies are still hesitating or unlikely using GIS due to high cost and much time to introduce it, and inconvenience in use. The author introduces Base Map Service using open architecture, which is promised to solve those problems in GIS.
