The Office of Information Technology offers Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to campus customers. GIS can be used to capture, store and display data based on location.
ArcDesktop Installation and Usage Instruction
OIT can assist users in the installation and general use of software. More advanced instruction in the use of tools, geo-processing procedures, etc., can be arranged on an individual basis. Visit the OIT software catalog to obtain ArcGIS software.
Data Analysis
Our team can work with your team to select appropriate tools and methods for analyzing data sets.
Topological Modeling
We can assist users in determining spatial relationships of adjacent features in their data sets.
Python Scripting for Automating Workflows
OIT can write Python scripts to automate repetitive tasks and mitigate the complexity of applying multiple tasks to a data set.
Web Application Development
Customized web applications can be developed in-house, or users can be directed to boxed ArcGIS Online web products for simple data representation and dashboard creation.
Centralized Data Sources
Though data can be stored locally on a user’s machine in a personal geo-database, it is advantageous to utilize an enterprise geo-database for sharing data across multiple users. Our GIS software and hardware will soon be updated to allow more flexibility in data sharing on UA servers.
Real-Time GIS Services
Through ArcGIS Geo-event Server, real-time GIS services are possible. These services include monitoring capabilities for fleet vehicles, social media, and meters with the appropriate hardware.
Geo-Database Data Modeling
We can assist users in designing a geo-database based on their needs, from data modeling to a finished database schema.
Mapping Basics (Spatial Analysis)
- Where
- Quantities
- Densities
- What is inside
- What is nearby
- Change
Let us help by analyzing data along the basic fronts noted.
