ABOUT GIS GIS integra geographic in many wa GIS is impo types of wo surface. Latitude an the geogra A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework. GIS gives us a new way to look at the world around us. With GIS you can: Map where things are Map quantities Map densities Find what s inside Find what s nearby Map change We as Tech all alone w implement Majority of technologi GIS benefits organizations of all sizes and in almost every industry. There is a growing awareness of the economic and strategic value of GIS. The benefits of GIS generally fall into five basic categories: Cost savings and increased efficiency Better decision making Improved communication Better recordkeeping Managing and disseminating geographical information 22_AUG_GIS_2015.indd 2 8/23/15 09:36

3 INTRODUCTION operations nd Business ide. d BPO / ITES GIS integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. GIS is important today because it is able to bring together information from multiple sources so that various types of work can be done. In order to do this though, the data must be tied to a specific location on the Earth's surface. Latitude and longitude are usually used for this and the locations to be viewed are attached to their points on the geographic grid. Some major application areas include: eir goals has alyzing, and n, interpret, reports, and understood IS gives us a Agriculture Water Resource Management Land Management Utility Management Environment Transportation Facilities Management Commercial Applications GIS in Public Service E-Government Urban Management Property Valuation System Asset Management System Street Addressing System Outdoor Advertising Parking Management Planning Health Facilities Inventory We as Techno Brain have had experience in implementing similar projects some of which we have undertaken all alone while partnering in others. In addition to that we have well qualified expert professionals for this implementation. Our resources are highly experienced in developing various IT Solutions. Majority of the resources have leadership qualities and have hands on international experience in latest technologies and also involved in delivery and client management for multiple projects across the globe. conomic and 22_AUG_GIS_2015.indd 3 8/23/15 09:36

4 Rising population and unpredictable weather patterns are key contributors to food insecurity in Africa. In order to support farmers and increase their output, there is an underlying need to better understand, monitor and asses the agricultural cycle. By ensuring greater data to farmers, food sources become more sustainable and predictable allowing for constant food source to in need populations. Crop acreage estimation, Crop yield modeling and Production estimation ensures farmers profitability by reducing operational costs, increasing yield and mitigating post-harvest losses Crop survey mapping creates Agri-Business information that can provide best pricing models based on the market and predicting yields The Agro-weather tool helps in protecting Farmers from Climate shock thus reducing losses v Increased populati evolving energy n pressure on our w sustainably mainta and demand and e AGRICULTURE WATE RESOUR MANAGEM 22_AUG_GIS_2015.indd 4 8/23/15 09:36

8 As scientists and environmental managers, you use GIS to study the environment, report on environmental phenomena, and model how the environment is responding to natural and manmade factors. When it comes to dealing with the environment the questions that need to be answered usually arises Manage multiple types of geographic data. Assess relationships such as runoff and groundwater purity. Measure change such as wildlife habitat encroachment. Model events such as drought impact on forest health. Improve workflow processes, from data gathering and analysis to publication and distribution of findings.

10 Government Debt is usually a country s largest balance sheet item. Public debt management is about ensuring that a government is able to raise adequate finance to meet its medium to long term borrowing needs and that the costs and risks of repayment are managed efficiently. Recognizing that most countries will be making use of Debt Management Software (DMS) provided by the Commonwealth Secretariat or UNCTAD for managing their debt portfolio, Techno Brain provides a complete range of added value services and software to maximize value of DMS through effective integration with IFMS and banking. The DMS can be integrated into the Financial Management, Grants Management, Treasury and Budgeting modules. Team of acknowledged debt management experts to consult on best practice use of core debt management software and processes Automatic update from debt servicing forecasts into budget and treasury planning tools Automation of payment cycle, creating payment instruction in IFMS, automatic updates of payment or receipt information from bank Providing workflows and escalation paths across organizations and systems to ensure that payments are made on time and penalties avoided Automatic reconciliation of debt related balances between DMS and IFMS systems Providing enhanced reporting, at-a-glance dashboards and automated generation of key publications (e.g. Debt Bulletin, Issuance Calendar) GIS helps retaile asset managers professionals le where to stay challenging econ FACILITIES MANAGEMENT COMMER APPLICAT 22_AUG_GIS_2015.indd 10 8/23/15 09:36

12 Location is at the interface of citizen and public services; harnessing location data through GIS can underpin effective local service delivery. GIS data will map where a service delivery request occurs in relation to where the resource is available. This means that the department responsible for the service delivery can map the location of requests, services, and responses. Discovering patterns within distribution features, densities, and changes in geographic features over time Iocating features on a map and determining what is in the local area Routing resources Assigning work based on geographical utilization E-government is government.

13 atures, ures over time g what is in the ization E-government is using the Internet and GIS to create more effective government. The combination of readily available Internet access and maps lets governments provide a new level of service to both businesses and the public. It is making collaboration between government agencies possible in new and powerful ways. The strong data integration abilities of GIS let governments truly capitalize on data existing in legacy systems. GIS-enabled Web sites can provide services, such as online mapping, fee payment, and application submission, which were not previously available. Three categories of E-government applications have developed: government to business, government to citizens, and government to government. Government-to-business applications typically relate to economic development, land development, licensing, or permitting. Government-to-citizen applications provide information on government service, such as trash pickup, or streamline the public s interaction with government agencies by allowing online payment of fees or providing feedback on land use plans to officials. Government-to-government applications improve the amount, quality, and speed of information exchange among various levels of government and/or agencies and departments within governments. Better communication helps governments use resources more wisely by avoiding duplication of effort and allows agencies to work together to tackle large-scale planning E-GOVERNMENT 22_AUG_GIS_2015.indd 13 8/23/15 09:36

14 No matter how large or small your community, planners must deal with spatial information: parcel data, zoning and land use data, addresses, transportation networks, and housing stock. As a planner, you also study and keep track of multiple urban and regional indicators, forecast future community needs, and plan accordingly to guarantee the quality of life for everyone in habitable communities. Federal, regional, state, county, and local planning agencies have realized the power of enterprise GIS to identify problems, respond to them efficiently, and share the results with the public. Urban management refers to the coordination and integration of public and private sector activities in an urban environment with the aim of building a more competitive, equitable and sustainable city. Property Tax Management Property Valuation System Asset Management System Street Addressing System Outdoor Advertising Parking Management Planning The purpose of a To provide inf facilities by loc functionality, To enable iden thereby provid health units.

15 The purpose of a Health inventory is: To provide information on the stock of health care facilities by location, level, ownership and staff functionality, To enable identification of underserved areas and thereby provide a guide for locating and/or sitting new health units. This should guide new construction of health units, and To guide effective planning for staffing and rational distribution of medicines and supplies By incorporating GIS in Health Facilities management, we can harness the power of location awareness in decision making. GIS allows us to create applications that show maps with different data sets. We can have roads, buildings, parcels of land-all in a single map. This has the advantage of allowing the user to view the entire dataset as a whole, and not as disjoint pieces of information. HEALTH FACILITIES INVENTORY 22_AUG_GIS_2015.indd 15 8/23/15 09:37
