In the past GIS has been one of those niche technologies that required a lot of skills and understanding. Today’s GIS is easy to use and more accessible to the masses.
ON EASE OF USE
GIS is awakening the world to the power of geography and bringing us into an era of geographic enlightenment.
ON GEOGRAPHIC ENLIGHTENMENT
Web GIS allows us to manage Big Data, including real-time sensor input, in ways that make it more useful to people.
ON POSSIBILITIES WITH WEBGIS
Web GIS is not making traditional GIS obsolete. Integrating traditional and Web GIS only makes the geographic platform more capable.
ON TRADITIONAL GIS
Open access to open systems via Web GIS will, hopefully, compel agencies to readily share geographic information and encourage collaboration.
ON OPEN ACCESS
Because people use platforms to connect to shared information, we are seeing systems of intelligence come together that elevate geographic understanding.
ON CONNECTED PLATFORMS
GIS maps and cartography are becoming a normal part of executive-level communications and strategic decision making.
ON DECISION MAKING
By combining Web GIS with the Internet of Things, in which everyday objects have network connectivity, cities are transforming into smart communities.
ON SMART CITIES
The reason why open data is so important is because anyone and everyone can access it. They can use it to be more engaged in their businesses, their communities, and society.
ON OPEN DATA
When you have the information to understand your environment holistically, you are exponentially better equipped to make decisions.
ON POWER OF INFORMATION
