Traditionally, assets are managed via tabular data sets. However, assets that can be tied to a location are best managed by a system that relates the assets through digital maps to the tabular data and other relevant data sets, such as photos, documents, etc. Asset management systems integrated with GIS allow local governments and other organizations to manage, visualize, analyze, and communicate information about infrastructure assets such a s buildings, water systems, wastewater systems, stormwater systems, signage, roads, bridges and other assets.
