Dear GIS Colleagues...

We all know the vast array of benefits that GIS provides to the government agencies, companies, and other entities that use it. But can we say objectively what the financial benefits are?

I recently completed a comprehensive GIS ROI Study for the city of Seattle. As an additional work item, I created this short YouTube video to report on the results of the study: City of Seattle 2024 GIS ROI Study Report.

I hope that you find this video useful as you pursue documenting and sharing the financial value of GIS with your stakeholders.

Feel free to reach out to me at any point to discuss how you could use GIS ROI in your own GIS program.

Are you going to be at GIS-Pro in Denver? Let's talk!
