An Unconventional View of the GIS Industry

What Is GIS ?

"GIS technology is kind of like Google Earth, but beeetter."

Arnold Schwarzenegger01-Sep-2009- Conference on California’s Future.

“The early days of GIS were very lonely. No-one knew what it meant.”

Roger Tomlinson

“I Make Maps, and Mapping Software.”Me

“GIS is 66% Information Systems and only 33% Maps.

Basically it's asking questions about some phenomena of the landscape, using a computer to do an analysis, and occasionally mapping the results.”

Gabriel Weinberg

Doing GIS means solving problems with

Spatial Components.

Mostly, you are finding Spatial

patterns, discovering Correlations,

querying, filtering & processing data,

spatial modelling and

Developing systems that use this

data in a Smart way
