Two Ways to Work with GIS in Citywide Software
PSD Citywide offers both a fully managed Enterprise GIS platform and an embedded map experience inside Citywide workflows, so teams can choose the setup that fits their operational needs.
Citywide EGIS (Enterprise GIS Platform):
- Fully managed GIS server environment with desktop and web access
- Combines PSD Citywide software with open-source GIS tools
- Unlimited GIS layers and unlimited users with role-based access
- Create and publish maps
- Integrates with Citywide Enterprise Asset Management to edit and manage asset data across the platform
Citywide GIS (GIS Viewer Module):
- Built into the Citywide Platform and accessible from multiple modules
- View spatial data as map layers, search and filter attributes
- Visualize asset attributes for analysis
- Locate assets on a map
- Initiate service requests and work orders by clicking a location

GIS or Asset Management—What’s the Difference?
Municipal GIS Software FAQ
What is municipal GIS software used for?
How does GIS help municipalities manage assets?
GIS helps municipalities manage assets by connecting asset data to an interactive map, enabling staff to visualize, analyze, and act on location-based information. It allows teams to locate assets, assess condition, prioritize work, and create service requests or work orders directly from the map—while keeping data updated and consistent across systems and field operations.
Can GIS integrate with existing municipal systems?
Yes. GIS can integrate with existing municipal systems, including ESRI ArcGIS and other line-of-business platforms. It connects through the Citywide API, web services, and data synchronization to link spatial data with asset, work order, and operational systems. This allows municipalities to maintain a single source of truth, automate data updates, and initiate workflows like service requests or maintenance from within the GIS interface.
What data can be stored in a GIS platform?
A GIS platform stores spatial data as map layers along with associated attribute data, allowing users to search, filter, and analyze information by location. This can include infrastructure assets (like hydrants and storm basins), aerial imagery and base maps, administrative boundaries, and geolocated permits or licenses.
Is GIS software cloud-based or on-premise?
GIS software can be cloud-based or on-premise, depending on the platform and a municipality’s infrastructure. Citywide GIS is a cloud-hosted SaaS solution, with hosting, maintenance, and updates managed by PSD Citywide. It can integrate with both cloud and on-premise GIS systems—such as ArcGIS Online or ESRI web services—giving municipalities flexibility in how their spatial data is managed.
How long does it take to implement municipal GIS software?
Implementing municipal GIS software can take as little as 6 weeks, depending on the scope and modules being deployed, such as asset management or permitting and licensing with GIS integration. Implementation stages can run concurrently and are delivered in phases, with the final timeline tailored in close collaboration with your team to align with operational needs, priorities, and existing workflows.
