About Us
Geographic Data and Management Solutions (GDMS)
was
established to provide complete geographic information systems (GIS) solutions. GDMS
provides the hardware, software and consulting services necessary to develop an effective
GIS. We have the necessary resources and expertise to aid our clients with the
establishment and maintenance of such systems. Our goal is to ensure that our clients
obtain the maximum benefits possible from their GIS.
A Geographic Information System aids in the visualization of data, mapping and in the
decision-making process. Nothing places data in perspective quite like seeing it displayed
on a map. Since over 85% of data has a geographic element, resources are available to
access the information you need.
GDMS can help you unleash the power of geography by combining your data with maps to
create colorful, information-rich pictures. You'll be making smarter decisions in less
time than you could ever have imagined.
Before launching into GIS technology, it is extremely important that users carefully
consider and plan for their needs before embarking on system acquisition, application and
database development. Laying a good foundation from the beginning will lead to a
successful
start as well as potential for future development. Our consulting staff will thoroughly
assess each client's needs to support the design of efficient databases, applications, and
systems to meet those needs.
GDMS is your resource for GIS and CAD knowledge. We provide the necessary hardware,
software, consulting, training and technical support to help our clients be
