The term Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is often used with the term of asset management.  The best way to describe GIS is imagine a visual map and the visual map has information tied to each interest on the map.  For instance if you took a line on the map (it could be a road) and link that with an excel table that contains attributes about that road, such as the name, length, width, area, material, etc.  That is GIS.  GIS is one piece of the process.  Without updated asset data, GIS has limited use.  However, linking a database and GIS makes another level of management available by providing more options to analyze asset information.  A GIS can spatially display asset locations and symbols on a map with links to corresponding database records.  The GIS provides the ability to analyze data based on geographic information, allowing patterns to emerge on a map that may not be as obvious in an excel table.

AMS has been working closely with agencies and organizations for many years in all facets of GIS technology.  We have been part of projects where GIS has helped many organizations improve business operations, improve public safety, improve asset conditions, and improve the level of service.

Here's the AMS Difference

​

• GIS Experience –  AMS Consulting has been a proud ESRI Business partner for over ten years.  We have taken our specialized field to great lengths with GIS technology.  We have worked with many agencies in helping them improve day-to-day business operations.  We have worked as on-call consultants with many agencies and understand GIS needs. 

​

• Innovation –  As a proud ESRI Business partner, we push the envelope on innovation.  Our niche is in the field.  We were one of the first companies in the San Francisco Bay Area to use 360 degree imaging technology to inventory assets.  We are the first to use video-based imaging that links to ArcGIS.  This information is essential for our clients when it comes to planning and analyzing infrastructure.  We are the first to use ArcGIS python to communicate with StreetSaver™ web API.  We are the first to use ArcGIS version 10.x to link with StreetSaver™.
