Another
Promising feature AMSA includes is the ease of developing the GIS database. The user has
the ability to create, manipulate, and change any information in the database online
in the AMSA environment. The online capabilities of AMSA make the program very easy to
use, giving the user the power to create the database Iinks the same day the system
arrives.
AMSA/GIS has
been developed for a very broad range of uses. With AMSA's diverse range of ability, you
can greatly improve your resource management working simultaneously with other database
software such as:
Utility maintenance,
billing, and scheduling
Querry property and parcel
information
Street pavement maintenance
Police case tracking
information
Routing and Networking
A feature
commonly overlooked is the multi-disciplined networking abilities that AMSA has mastered.
Interdepartmental multi-discipline networking may prove to be a necessity among the larger
institutions such as government facilities. This type of networking provides all
departments access to the same database and the most current information.
AMSA raster
viewing capabilities give the user the ability to call any type of scanned images
including parcel maps, utility maps, single line diagrams, contracts, legal or other
documents. The user is also able to raise most types of video images, i.e., a building, as
a normal function of the query process.
AMSA is a
system designed to suit the needs of each and every user. Used on today's high-powered
microcomputers, AMSA offers economy as well as a wide range of capabilities, outperforming
more expensive minicomputer systems.
A computer
aided design program, AMSA is specifically engineered to create, edit and manage
geographical information. The user operates interactively to create and edit drawings of
virtually any size or scale. Lines, arcs, circles, and polygons can all be drawn quickly
and easily. Data can be input using a keyboard, a digitizer, or a mouse.
AMSA can be
customized by the user with unique symbol libraries, although predrawn system symbols are
available for fast, easy depiction of common map elements. Special output commands let
users generate digital terrain models, map grids, contours, surfaces, and even
cross-sections for volume calculations.
AMSA CAD and
GIS packages are quickly becoming leading systems throughout the United States and Canada.
These low cost, easy to use systems have been known to operate at speeds five to ten times
faster then other systems in the field. We invite you to compare AMSA/GIS and AMSA/Map Pro
to any system on the market today. We are confident you will agree the AMSA packages will
give you the most power and ease of operation than any other GIS or mapping software.
