Hello

I am here to ask for some information regarding the future of gis technology. I am interested in knowing what are the new trends, new funcionalities, new developments in gis area, especially regarding the Utilities business.

If anyone know some place where i can find this information, please share =)

Thank you in advance.

In addition to GIS Cafe, would recommend Directions Magazine.  Can also find some good white papers on location intelligence and GIS at the Pitney Bowes Business Insight site.  http://www.pbinsight.com/products/location-intelligence/

Hi,

This is Dinesh from VISIONLABS, Hyderabad, India.

The future of GIS technology in Utilities is immense particularly in the developing states. For effective governance and asset management, the Utility companies are investing huge amounts of money in creating the base line data on GIS and loading their business processes s like Billing, Customer care, Energy Audit, Network Analysis and SCADA etc)around this data.

Essentially, in the next 3-5 years, we are going to witness massive investments and activity in the utilities domain.
