Introduction to GIS Request Management

GIS Request Management can be used to manage the delivery of GIS services and communicate the value of the GIS program to the organization.

Numerous organizations across various industries use geographic information systems (GIS) to manage location-based data, derive insights, optimize operations, and engage stakeholders. Traditionally, expertise in GIS technology evolved within distinct business units or departments, tailored to meet their specific requirements. However, with the increasing adoption of GIS, there's a growing inclination to integrate GIS with other IT services and amplify its business impact.

Consequently, organizations are combining resources into dedicated GIS service providers and tasking GIS professionals with delivering services across the entire organization. Clearly defining GIS services provided and effectively managing the delivery of these services is crucial. Understanding customer satisfaction and communicating the business impact of GIS services promotes the sustainable use of GIS technology in an organization. It also helps organizations justify any investments required to expand the use of GIS technology.

The GIS Request Management solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you solicit requests for service, manage the delivery of GIS services, and promote the value of GIS to internal stakeholders.
