Explanation / Answer

The field of geographic information systems (GIS) is impacting the enterprise applications space like never before. Known best for basic mapping functions, its influence is apparent to any smartphone user who has opened a maps program to locate the nearest Starbucks or find a gas station.

But that’s GIS at its most basic level. In the enterprise it can be used with business applications such as CRM, business intelligence (BI) and Big Data analytics.

Petrochemical and telecommunication giants have embraced GIS as a means of demonstrating phone coverage areas, tracking oil spills and detecting oil and gas resources. Verizon Shell, General Motors, Walmart, Starbucks and Nike use it to view their businesses spatially.

One good example is the Uber taxi service. Instead of being told that a yellow cab will be there in 15 minutes and then waiting endlessly for one to appear, this company offers customers a mobile app to set up a pickup location on a phone. The app allows them to see a photo of the driver, track where the vehicle is and, at the end of the ride, rate the driver's performance. With a credit card already on file, the transaction itself is seamless.

GIS helps change how we think and behave. People see things differently, and this enables them to approach problem-solving in new ways. In tandem with Big Data and remote sensor networks, what is emerging is a services-based GIS model providing applications for a multitude of devices. You end up with maps combined with analytics, mashups, social media, marketing and sales data.

"GIS used to be a complex ‘over there’ system," said Ressler. "Now it’s an 'everywhere' system and easy to use."
