• Geographic data
• GIS software tools and applications
• Training and technical support
• Computers

Geographic Data You Can Rely On.

Reliable and accurate digital maps are the foundations of an efficient and robust GIS. abGIS integrates geo-referenced³ digital maps that have been developed from suitable source materials under strict quality assurance standards. You can use abGIS maps to geo-reference other existing paper or digital maps such as tax maps. abGIS also enables LGUs to be ready for the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.⁴

Task-Oriented Tools and Applications.

As a fully operational GIS, abGIS provides - 1) the tools for data integration, visualization, and analysis; and 2) the applications for mapping and analyzing basic LGU concerns such as land use planning and zoning enforcement, revenue generation, delivery of basic services, infrastructure planning and project management. With abGIS, you can easily add or integrate other geographic features and attributes to abGIS maps.

More importantly, abGIS integrates your external databases, either manual or digital, with the unique visualization and geographic analysis offered by maps. With abGIS tools and applications, you can perform countless tasks while using high quality digital maps.

Training and Technical Support for Efficiency and Long-Term Sustainability.

abGIS includes hands-on training, documentation, and technical support to ensure the smooth transfer of GIS technology and its long-term sustainability. The training is conducted by experts with extensive experience in GIS implementation among LGUs.

Computers for Maximum Productivity.

The computer hosts your data, software tools and applications needed to operationalize the GIS. abGIS computers are configured to readily meet your demands for maximum productivity.

Note:
3 This term comes from Georeference system, which is a coordinate system that locates points on the surface of the earth as a reference to points on a map. Systems include latitude and longtitude, Universal Transverse Mercator, etc.

4 A system of satellites and receiving devices used to compute positions on the Earth. GPS is used in navigation and its precision supports cadastral surveying.
