Geographic Information Systems (GIS) let geographers and analysts examine data in a spatial context. LA Solutions is primarily concerned with Bentley Map and PowerMap from Bentley Systems.

Databases

A database is often used to store alpha-numeric 'business' information. We can help design and implement your database, whether Microsoft Access™, SQL Server™ or Oracle™.

For GIS and asset-management applications, a database is commonly linked to graphic elements in Bentley Systems' MicroStation. For example, an office plan might have asset data stored in a relational database, or a GIS application might have feature data stored in a hierarchical XML data repository.
