GIS, or geographic information system, represents computer software, data and solutions that are used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide in government, education, and business. An example of this is iMaps, an online application for local maps and geographic information.

Wake County GIS has approximately 150 users in various county departments. In addition, Wake County GIS provides mapping products and services to citizens and businesses.

GIS customer serviceIn addition to working with various departments and contractors, the GIS Division is directly networked to, and share databases with, the City of Raleigh GIS. The City of Raleigh and Wake County established GIS systems, which share live data online via a dedicated NMLI line. The sharing of data in this manner increases data availability, timeliness and accuracy, while decreasing cost through elimination of duplicated information, data storage space and redundant data maintenance activities. The City of Raleigh and Wake County pioneered this concept, which has served as a model for others in the industry. The City and County also reduce costs through shared on-site training and joint application development activities. The strong relationship between the City of Raleigh GIS and Wake County GIS continues to provide benefits to the citizens.

GIS also exchanges and provides data to all 12 of the municipalities in the County as well as the NC Department of Transportation, US Army Corps of Engineers, and many other public agencies.
