"The aim with MapAble is simply to lower the entry barriers and costs of such an application in order to allow non-GIS professionals the benefit of spatial analysis, map visualization. In addition to these standard GIS functions we also introduce the ability to report and collaborate with teams, partners and clients through MapAble. At the end of the day, we would like to see MapAble on a equal footing and used on a day-to-day basis in the same way as the standard suite of office programs on each and every built environment specialist’s desk. The key benefits of MapAble web based GIS tool is the fact that it does not require high specialized skills levels, it is universally accessible through the web, comes packaged with about 300 national (South African) datasets and with its multiuser interface it has several tools that allows users to work individually or collaborate in teams. This is not to say that it is not a very sophisticated tool but we believe that the initiated to GIS will immediate be able to use it while your while the seasoned GIS specialist can equally do high level and complicated mapping and visualization in a cooperative team environment using MapAble.

MapAble frees the hand of the GIS specialist in your organization to focus on his tasks and empowers the non-GIS user to do spatial analysis and show the results thereof."
