GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Geographic information systems (GIS) are computer hardware and software designed to collect, store, manipulate, and display geographically referenced information to be integrated with other database information.

Parsons is internationally recognized for using engineering and environmental GIS applications to consistently meet client quality, budget, and schedule requirements. Our 8,000 GIS specialists, engineers, scientists and support professionals serve our clients in regional and project offices strategically located throughout the U.S. and abroad. GIS technologies allow us to process and quantitatively evaluate data to prepare reports and graphics quickly and inexpensively. We developed our highly efficient GIS methodology using a systems approach and strategic focus. This approach manages the big picture and builds quality designs through specialization. The success of this approach can be measured by the ease of end-user application. End-user GIS databases can be easily digested, used, and supported.

Parsons applies GIS to federal and municipal government projects in emergency services, infrastructure, urban development, and asset management for clients such as the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, and Manatee County, Florida.
