| | NOVEMBER 20196CIOReviewThe rapid advancements in geospatial technologies and geographic information systems (GIS) are influencing modern businesses like never before. The utility of GIS is increasing in parallel to the adoption of technology trends like data analytics, AI, and augmented reality (AR/VR). It helps organizations easily collect demographic data for better service delivery. While geospatial AI--a subset of AI--integrates GIS and analytics to capture the real-time data about the conditions in geographical surroundings, AR/VR combined with geospatial technology helps the construction industry effectively plan and design projects. The coming together of GIS and AR/VR is a boon to architects in tracking the location and orientation of underground materials. It improves construction planning and design efficiency by integrating information related to location and themes in a single environment. GIS also adds new possibilities to the smart city concept, enhancing the living standards of city life by reducing congested spaces, pollution, and improving the management of parking and traffic. The technology is bolstering the underlying architecture of urban planning models with a necessary framework to develop solutions around smart infrastructure. An amalgamation of GIS and miniature sensors assists farmers in leveraging drones to perform aerial mapping and gather data on pest damage and crop stress, thus reducing the need to employ more people for farm monitoring. In the wake of these technology transitions, we are glad to feature Psomas, which implements geospatial technology aligned with geospatial initiatives according to an organization's strategic priorities. Psomas' use of GIS and business intelligence is helping enterprises operate and improve productivity and manage costs like never before.To assist organizations in taking advantage of new technologies, this edition of CIOReview features a list of leading vendors along with insightful articles from thought leaders in the GIS arena.
