Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are migrating to the cloud and mobile platforms. 

By • • Knowledge, Research, Teaching • , , , • 2 minutes of reading

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a systematic collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and persons designed to record, store, update, manage, analyse, and present all types of geographically linked information. GIS is based on data that has a primary link to space, which includes any data about things and activities that occur in nature.  Most of the top GIS software vendors have developed cloud GIS solutions, and those that have not yet done so must do so. The GIS user community is fully aware of the benefits of cloud computing, and there are several options–for example, public vs. private
