Unlocking the Meaning in Your Data

Recently GovLoop spoke with Bryan Jones, GIS Specialist at Gulf Coast Aerial Mapping about how the Postal Service is unlocking the meaning behind their data.

“Really what [GIS] has done for our organization is help people understand the meaning behind the data. When you use something like a map people are very interested in it, its easy to use, there is a recognition, and then to allow the data to come through the map leads them through the data without hitting them up front with a lot of numbers, columns, rows, and text they may not be able to understand. So it’s really helped people to understand the power behind data, and GIS has been a great solution for us,” Bryan Jones, GIS Specialist at Gulg Coast Aerial Mapping.
