GISCafe Voice Industry Predictions for 2021 – Part 5Friday, March 5th, 2021Better cloud and remote GIS tools, virtual and augmented reality have now blossomed in response to the demands put forth on our industry by the pandemic. Gaining access to analysis-ready geospatial data at a scale and with granularity never before possible is on the horizon. We thought we already knew about digital twins, but now we find out they are finally born? This is the way of the future and much more, we learn by checking in with companies Blue Marble and Omnisci, two companies with a finger on the pulse of what to watch for in geospatial. GISCafe Voice Industry Predictions for 2021 – Part 4Friday, February 19th, 2021Thematically, this week’s group of industry predictions can be boiled down to one topic: delivering the data that people need, in a format that they can understand to enable them to make the best possible evidence-based decisions quickly and confidently.
GISCafe Voice Industry Predictions for 2021 – Part 3Thursday, February 4th, 2021Geospatial has responded to the past year’s calamitous changes with what it already had in place as well as shifted gears at the spur of the moment. GNSS advancements, bring-your-own-data, geospatial data acquisition, location analytics, supply chain logistics, Covid and dashboards, tracking trends, turning data into actionable information – all took front and center stage as far as technologies that surge forward into 2021 and beyond.
GISCafe Voice Industry Predictions for 2021 – Part 2Friday, January 22nd, 2021This week, our Geospatial Industry Predictions includes Linda Loubert, Interim Chairperson and Graduate Coordinator, Economics Department, Morgan State University; Seb Lessware, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of 1Spatial; and George Mastakas, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions & Corporate Partnerships at Cityworks. These industry spokespeople cover where they see the industry going – and how to apply geographic knowledge to economics, politics, data sharing, visualization, city and country planning using sensors, Digital Twins, machine learning and artificial intelligence and much more. With GIS and geospatial, the matter of being able to provide accuracy and validity in data is paramount. The technology is already there; yet finding the ways to use the technology in even more promising ways is the way of the future.
