Enterprise GIS systems are most effective when they are able to leverage data from a wide variety of disparate data sources. Many legacy systems provide such access using bespoke technologies with inconsistent application programming interfaces (APIs). This frequently requires lengthy translation processes and specialized code to be written to access and manage each of these data sources. This can extend the deployment phase of an enterprise GIS system, increase maintenance costs and make it more difficult to sustain quality.
