Having G.I.S., a digital relational database, is indispensable for the storage, access and convenient updating of facilities and infrastructure maps. While the maps themselves may show boundaries, the types and amounts of information you can derive from them are boundless. Having an experienced leader in G.I.S. services as your partner is indispensable if you want things done the right way. That's why so many municipalities, school districts, transportation authorities and businesses throughout Western Pennsylvania get Geographic Information Systems that suit their needs, accessible with a few clicks on a desktop PC, laptop or PDA from The Gateway Engineers. We're real pros with a proven process that delivers superior results. It all starts with the map You might think that software developers would be the ideal choice as providers of G.I.S. services. Sure they know the technology. But mapping is a very different animal, one that developers often don't consider carefully (or even care about at all, to be honest). They often prioritize the technology over the map rather than using technology to serve the map and the varied information it can convey. With them, it's technique over substance. That's not our approach. The G.I.S. team at The Gateway Engineers is made up of technicians experienced in the fields of engineering and surveying. Maps are what we know, with more than 50 years of mapping experience. We know how to keep voluminous data organized and seamlessly integrated, using an accurate base map and GPS data as the starting point. And because we don't sell the software, we don't favor a particular program. We use ESRI ArcView, ArcPad and Trimble GPS—whatever does the best job and offers you the best solution. You can't beat the system Your G.I.S. solution will be comprehensive, readily accessible, easy to use and maintain, centralized, dynamic and designed just for you. Whether you need an entire G.I.S. program or just the mapping that your own engineers can work from, The Gateway Engineers is committed to providing the most cost-effective system available. So give us a call. We'll help put you on the map.	G.I.S.
