Metcalf & Eddy provides geographic information system (GIS) services designed to access, organize, analyze and consolidate geographically-referenced spatial data from multiple sources in different formats and locations, and then merge that data quickly and easily into a single, unified visual presentation. The use of GIS allows everyday activities, such as asset management, hydraulic modeling and land use planning,to be performed more efficiently, generating substantial savings in time and money. Moreover, the databases, data layers and other digital information and analytical tools created in the course of development of a GIS are permanently available for other, future uses.
