Abstract

An analysis was conducted to help a consulting firm select a commercial Geographic Information System. Three major objectives concerning software capabilities, hardware capabilities, and vendor performance were considered. A preference model was developed to evaluate alternative information systems based on the decision maker's values. The analysis provided insights for requesting specific improvements to the preferred system. The analysis approach and the results were utilized in purchasing a Geographic Information System.
