SAMBUS schools businesses on GIS software

SAMBUS Company Limited (SCL), an IT solution provider, says corporate institutions need to embrace the Geographic Information System (GIS) to help improve data analysis, cut-down extra work, and promote time management.

GIS is software that presents terrestrial features such as buildings, cities, roads, rivers and states on a computer. People use GIS to visualise, question, analyse, and understand data about the world and human activity.

“Businesses can map demographic data to learn more about their customers. By using GIS to reveal hidden patterns, organisations obtain insights that can improve their performance and save money through greater efficiency, better decision-making, improved communication, and more accurate geographic record-keeping,” Mr. Kwame Gyeke-Amoako, Deputy Managing Director of SCL, told participants at a day’s seminar in Accra.

The programme was targetted at educating financial institutions, tax administrators, officials from the oil, gas and mining industries, and telecommunication companies on usefulness of the software for business.

Mr. Gyeke-Amoako explained that GIS makes data more interactive and more useful. “In many areas of business such as manufacturing and banking, organisations must meet government regulations regarding pollution and interstate trade. GIS provides tools to help companies comply with local, state and national regulations.”

He explained that SCL provides end-to-end consultancy services for designing, implementing, supporting and optimising data centres from construction to computer equipment, including servers and storage devices. This is achieved through the converged infrastructure technology.

“SCL’s data centre offers the complete set of products and services. We fully leverage HP technology, the innovations of HP Labs, and IT services -- a full spectrum of products that enhances our services portfolio.”

SAMBUS Company Limited is a wholly Ghanaian information technology solution provider and system integrator that uses a wide range of products and services from multiple platforms and vendors, including HP and Oracle/Sun Microsystems.
