The Essential Tool for GIS Processes
After setting up GIS hardware infrastructiure and dealt with the complex issues of Data, what is required are the tools that make GIS a reality.just like every proces requires a tool to make them work, the same goes for GIS.Each task in any GIS process require the use of a certain software that is well suited to that process to get the best outcome.
There are so many GIS software. Some are proprietary and others are Open Source.Proprietary software are the ones developed and marketed by Geospatial Multinational Giants like Intergraph and ESRI. These packeges require liceneces to enable users access its functions.They are jealously protected by stringent copyright laws
Open source GIS software are developed by GIS communities and groups using collaborative strategies to design open ended software packages that could be altered after in installation.Open source GIS software are normally free to download , share and distribute.
One restrictive aspect of the GIS landscape is the cost prohibition of acquiring licensed proprietary software.
Each software has its core competencies and good at particular GIS operations.
All the popular software will be reviewed in up coming posts .
