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

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

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

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
