Abstract
GIS: Expensive Toy or Effective Technology?Track: Geographic Information Officer
Author(s): Ayman El-Swaify
The Navy PWC Yokosuka began its GIS implementation journey in 1995. Since that time, millions of dollars have been invested by PWC and its customers in equipment, training, data acquisition, and application development. Yet, demand for the technology continues to increase and has spread throughout the U.S. Navy in Japan. This presentation will cover measurable and intangible benefits of GIS technology, cost factors and pitfalls, organizational issues, customers, products, and long-term sustenance considerations, all based on the real-world experiences of PWC Yokosuka in a facilities management environment.
