The City of Palo Alto selects GID for On-Call Services for Geographic Information Systems (GIS). A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a vital component of the City’s GIS strategy. It provides essential geospatial information to support several mission-critical business operations, including the Utilities Department’s system monitoring, land use analysis, permit tracking, preventive maintenance, public safety, police computer-aided dispatch, utilities billing, and overall management of City operations and infrastructure. GIS also provides information to numerous external agencies, cities, counties, public utilities, and Stanford University to meet compliance requirements. 2020-2025
