"When I talk to others about Cartegraph, I describe it as a tool for expanding the capabilities of GIS. The ability to attach multiple records to one record in your geodatabase — for improvements, for photo documentation, for inspections…or whatever — provides a new dimension to your GIS. GIS is great at recording locations and Cartegraph is just as good at storing information. However, the best solution is an integrated approach that capitalizes on the strengths of each system."
