This issue brief is part of NASCIO's series on Enterprise Governance and deals with the growing demand for GIS in every aspect of government decision making. GIS, or geo-spatial resources, involves more than technology. It is the organization, management and delivery processes associated with managing geo-spatial resources. GIS ranked as one of the top 10 technologies by state CIOs at the NASCIO 2007 Annual Conference.
"GIS is continuing to grow in its use in business decision making," said Utah CIO Stephen Fletcher, co-chair of NASCIO's Enterprise Architecture Committee. "GIS is really a portfolio of capabilities that extends across the enterprise. The investment in this portfolio is growing and we need to be sure we are managing this investment as well as incorporating GIS process and knowledge assets within enterprise architecture, information architecture, and program management.
