Geographic Information System
GIS =
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s).
GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.

GIS Automation
Why Automate GIS workflows?
Standardized Reports and Figures
Custom tools can be built to accommodatenumerous programs.
Provides repeatabilitySupports non-GIS users
Saves time – fast answers and less staff time
