In the IGISMap tool, you can create your map with your data. You can share these maps with others in form of a web page. Your team can also do an analysis of your shared map. They can just apply their operations to analyze the map.
A shared map works like a dashboard GIS application for an organization. A person once uploads all related data to the system and creates a map. Now he/she can share this with anyone. Now these people can apply different operations and analysis tool to analyze the data. And can print the map.
Data in shared map can be updated by one who shared the map. And all changes made will be updated to everyone who has access to the map.

IGISMap is simple and interactive. It does not require any high coding knowledge, person from any domain can make maps in it. A map can have 3 types of users, Admin, Developer and Business User.
