Abstract
Estimating GIS Return on Investment: The Empirical Way Track: Benefit of GIS Author(s): Bruce Joffe Benefit/Cost analyses of GIS implementation projects have been criticized for being 'soft and squishy', or 'too formulaic', or 'blue-sky fantasies.' But significant experience now provides concrete, empirical evidence upon which to detail reality-based projections for GIS implementation proposals. This innovative benefit calculation method is explained and documented in the context of a dynamic-allocation cost-projection model, resulting in substantiation for investment payback (ROI) and ongoing benefit value.
