Comparative Analysis of Geographic Information Systems. Phase II Report

Abstract

This is the PHASE II report of a Comparative Analysis of Geographic Information Systems. The goal of the Comparative Analysis was to make recommendations of the attributes necessary in a GIS to meet the Ballistic Missile Defense Systems Command's needs during the Comprehensive site Analysis Process. Phase I narrowed the GIS to four using a mailed survey and cluster analysis of attributes. These four in turn were subjected to an in depth analysis. Due to its unique position in the GIS field, ARC-INFO was recommended for an immediate procurement strategy. Benchmark testing between industry leaders was recommended if procurement was delayed. This is the final report under this contract.
