520			_aBook describes a practical method for implementing a geographic information system developed by Roger Tomlinson, considered by many to be the 'father of GIS'. His ten stage methodology is built around the concept of truly understanding the purpose of the organisation requesting it and the business environment in which it operates. The book is aimed at senior managers who oversee GIS and other information technologies and technical managers responsible for the implementation of these systems. It aims to give both groups a shared platform for GIS planning.
