Google Fusion Tables is a modern data management and publishing web application that makes it easy to host, manage, collaborate on, visualize, and publish data tables online. It is useful for groups who want a collaborative, centralised FIMS database, but don’t have an existing one of their own, or groups who have been using an EXEL based FIMS database, and want to move to a more collaborative system.
