Geographic Information Systems use software tools to gather, transform, manipulate, analyze, and produce geospatial data related to the surface of the earth.

Through a general-fund appropriation, ITD provides the hosting infrastructure and a product coordinator for the North Dakota GIS Hub. Database administrators, web application developers, web presentation developers, and system administrators all contribute to provide a reliable, scalable, and secure environment.  The GIS Hub itself is the result of many more people working together through a GIS Statewide Alliance.

Applications

ITD can develop GIS web applications that utilize Esri's ArcGIS technology which includes HTML and JavaScript. State agencies can specify the look-and-feel of the user interface and the functionality of the applications. State agencies can also use the IT Professional Services Contract Pool to obtain GIS services which include application development and data development services.

Data Services

The GIS Hub provides ArcGIS REST data services which can be consumed by desktop and browser applications.  Additional information is available on the North Dakota GIS Hub Web Services web page.

Mobile Resources

Using the ArcGIS application on your tablet or smartphone provides you with the ability to create and configure maps that leverage content from the North Dakota GIS Hub.
