Document Imaging Systems integrated with geographical information systems (GIS) applications are providing valuable additions to daily work processes across a wide variety of units of local government. Some of the agencies or departments benefiting from these applications would be wastewater treatment facilities, Public Works Departments, Power & Light Utilities and water districts. Document Imaging applications are paving the way for greater access to information through the use of web technology, streamlining work processes through efficient search and retrieval and creating efficiencies of time and space. Research has shown how once this digital archive is created, integrations with GIS applications are simple and straightforward.
