Million in purchases. We strive to receive the best value for the

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer
system designed for capturing, storing, integrating, analyzing and
displaying data from a geographic perspective. GIS stores
information in themes or layers that contain data about a
particular kind of geographical feature. Each layer is linked to a
specific position on the globe. Because data in a GIS are
referenced to geography, they have real-world locations and could
overlay one another. GIS links the location to each layer (such as
people to addresses, buildings to parcels, or streets within a
network) to give a better understanding of how the features
inter-relate.
Telecommunication Services provides voice/data
trunks/wireless and services, campus telephone system design and
operations support, cabling consultation and (moves adds and

Mail Services processes incoming and outgoing
United States Postal Service mail and shipping for all Departments
