A GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information; that is, data identified according to location. Practitioners also define a GIS as including the procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go into the system.
GIS based application is a five staged process or we can say GIS have 5 components that involves the following:
- Data Acquisition
- Pre Processing
- Post Processing
- Data Management
- Data Rendering
If you wan't more information about these GIS steps visit the related links for detailed information about GIS and its component. This is the link of a company named Albireo Telematics which is a leader in GIS services, so I think they will answer your question the best way.

If you earn a certificate in GIS is it appropriate to use GIS after your name?
Earning a certificate in GIS is not the same as GIS certification. Unless the certificate program you attended results in a higher degree such as a Bachelor's or Master's degree, there are no initials you can place after your name. GIS certification is a fee-based process currently handled by the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI), that evaluates the GIS proficiency of an individual by assessing their experience, education, and contributions to the GIS industry. Those individuals awarded certification by the GISCI may place the acronym GISP (for GIS professional) after their name.
