New ARC Advisory Group research on the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) market reveals that a technology that was once considered too specialized to fall within the domain of the Information Science department, has become just another specialty in mainstream IT. A sure indicator of this trend is that most of the GIS software providers have web-enabling tools available. The increased popularity of cloud technology helps promote the use of cloud GIS solutions as data can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and the distribution of data, analysis, and systems to remote users is very simple.
“With everything heading toward the Cloud – from documents, images, contacts, calendars, presentations, articles, and accounts – the shift of geographic information systems toward the Cloud seems logical and correct. Most of the leading GIS vendors have developed cloud GIS solutions or are certainly thinking about it, and a growing number of private GIS companies are also watching it very closely,” according to Rajkumar Paira, Senior Analyst at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Geographic Information Systems Global Market Research report.
