Based out of Eagle, Idaho, Tim Williams serves as president of Williams Research, Inc. At the Idaho-focused nonresidential real estate services firm, Williams evaluates numerous types of properties throughout the state. Additionally, he utilizes geographic information systems (GIS) mapping software.
Used by governments and private companies, GIS programs capture, analyze, and interpret geographic information. They can compare data about similar geographic elements from across the Earth, as well as about the same location over time. When rain occurs, GIS programs can record where it falls, monitor changes in climate, and determine how one year's weather may affect the ecosystem elsewhere.
GIS programs have benefited numerous industries in various ways. Cities have saved money and become more efficient by obtaining a greater understanding of their locality and reevaluating how they dispatch crews and distribute fuel. The public sector has utilized GIS for evacuation planning and natural resource extractions while real estate site selectors have acquired more extensive data about land that they are considering purchasing. On a macro scale, the intricacy of the data entered into GIS allows for better research into long-term impact and changes occurring to the world.
