The relevance of geo information to various businesses and services is becoming increasingly recognized. Whether it is the use of products such as maps or satellite imagery, the development of consumer-based applications around location information, or as an element of business analytics, geographic information is a key component of business, government and consumer life on a daily basis. Making sense of both strategic business drivers as well as implementation considerations can be challenging.
