Information technology

Information technology (IT) is the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and telecommunications.

What is geographic information system?

A geographic information system integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. It allows 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.

Geographic information system technology can be used for:
• asset management and location planning
• earth surface-based scientific investigations;
• environmental impact-assessment;
• infrastructure assessment and development;
• geographic history;
