Asset Information Mapper

Geospatial information and advanced mapping are transforming the way we see and understand the world around us. Maps are a fabulous tool. They help us get around, see where we’re going, get a sense of what’s out there beyond our immediate vision, and so forth. For centuries people have found maps useful in those ways.

​Geographic information systems (GIS) harness the power of computers and data to make maps even more useful. For decades now organizations have been bringing the power of maps to bear in understanding how our world is changing. The advent of Web mapping can be regarded as a major new trend in cartography.

​Maps on the Web provide a new paradigm for how people everywhere access and use geographic information. They use GIS maps on their desktops, the Web, on tablets, and smart phones for a sophisticated range of activities to apply advanced geographic information.

​Asset Information Mapper is the call name for our Web map hosting service.A.I.M. is a multi-faceted concept that integrates asset management principles with geographic information technology (advanced mapping) to allow organizations to better organize, manage and leverage their location-based information.

The benefits of A.I.M. Web maps include:
· They work everywhere – smart phones, tablets, and Web browsers
· They reduce the need to create custom applications
· They let you tailor simple, focused user experiences to help people get there jobs done quickly and intuitively
· They provide a platform for integrating GIS with other business systems
· They enable collaboration throughout your organization, facilitating communication and optimizing the use of information about your operations and activities
· They allow organizations to properly manage all of their geographic knowledge ​
​ · They open the door for creating a participatory environment where GIS tools are made more accessible and flexible

With Asset Information Mapper, the emphasis is on access by everyone, as opposed to a few.

A.I.M. Web maps can be kept private, or immediately shared with a group of peers or the public at large.
