This is different from 〜でございます. 〜にございます tells where something is. 〜でございます tells what something is. For example, 'The book is here' uses 〜にございます. 'This is a book' uses 〜でございます.
Watch out: Do not use "~ni gozaimasu" for people. Use it only for things. For people, use "~de irasshaimasu" or "~ni irasshaimasu". This is more polite. For example, say "The manager is in the meeting room." Do not use "~ni gozaimasu" for the manager.
