The GIS\Key™ Difference

 


Top Five Differentiating Features of GIS\Key for Environmental Managers

GIS\Key™ environmental software handles all required data types from your facility and enables users to produce all work products from one, multi-user interface with proven efficiency and data integrity. The system is designed to facilitate the interpretation and management of data by environmental professionals.

GIS\Key™ offers more Automated Applications for Industry Required and

The data is accessible and open for use in any other applications as well. Automated exports exist for 3-D modeling, statistical and other GIS applications.

GIS\Key™ has true integration of database information, querying, mapping,
That means GIS\Key™:
    • Eliminates the need for exports of data to third party software to perform its functions. AutoCad or AutoCAD Map is the only third party software required. GIS\Key™ does not export to AutoCAD: GIS\Key™ customizes and automates the AutoCAD graphical platform for its environmental queries, map and graphics applications. When working with a site map, users can quickly visualize many site conditions and make changes directly on the map or launch another query, without waiting for data to be exported. Users can also access extensive automated drawing management capabilities to make their own interpretations of the data.
    • Automates interdisciplinary visualizations, such as chemistry and hydrology in section view and flux graphs.
    • Allows users to browse queried data sets, or use them to produce maps, graphs, reports and any exports of that data set from one integrated client tool. Users can change query conditions without restarting the SmartQuery™ tool.
    • Provides faster data access and more comprehensive visualizations and than any products that rely on exports to third party software.

GIS\Key™ uses innovative Query Technology for quick data drill down.
Logical and fast, these client tools drill down through any project data by giving users information on what conditions can be set and how the filtered data looks at any time during the query. The user is also told when the data can be used to make a map, graph or report. Queries can be saved and used again.




One time data entry for all chemistry, geology and hydrology data
All the data required for the many graphical visualizations or any desired exports are entered into the GIS\Key™ database. This helps insure data integrity and security. GIS\Key™ can also verify complex laboratory, historical, and new data through import and data entry tools, including helpful prompts, data entry screens with context-sensitive help, and lookup lists and libraries.

The only software accepted into the EPA Site Program and verified for use on
Also tested and proven by hundreds of client organizations over the past eight years.
