The use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology introduces a progressive approach to acquisition, analysis and management of data. GIS involves using geography (the science of our world) as a framework to integrate all the important factors associated with problem solving. By applying geographic information and analysis, GIS can assist in the management and planning of nearly every field of human endeavor.

GIS can be used as a stand-alone service for spatial data analysis or complement our existing services as a management tool for infrastructure systems. Additionally, with our corporate office located in Brookings, SD, we have close at hand, the added resources of South Dakota State University (SDSU) to offer unique solutions to any project.

With GIS, Banner can now provide our clients a comprehensive management tool.

This can be an important in decision making and planning future needs for your company or agency. GIS allows you to also maintain and distribute that information to consultants, customers, clients and employees. The services we provide generally fall into four categories; all though there is considerable overlap between them.
