As with any tool, training is a vital part of the day-to-day GIS usage at SJFHQ-HLS. Internal ArcInfo training has been conducted utilizing the command’s GIS engineer, Sharon Litteral of Zekiah Technologies, Inc. Zekiah Technologies specializes in integrating GIS into traditional information technology architectures by introducing tools that capitalize on the inherent spatial characteristics of data used by an organization. “Training allows users to perform individual analysis based on their specialty in a visual format,” states Litteral. “The data becomes much more meaningful when it is presented as a picture.”

Bill Dollins, vice president of Zekiah’s GIS integration business unit says, “GIS introduces tools that allow new types of analysis, which are not possible in traditional relational or object-oriented environments.” Zekiah Technologies, Inc., a woman-owned technical consulting company headquartered in La Plata, Maryland, was named ESRI’s New Business Partner of the Year for 2003 in the Washington, D.C., region.
