Abstract
The Role of ASPs in the GIS Industry
Track: New Technology and Technology Integration
Author(s): Matthew Gentile
Emerging GIS map server technology coupled with mature Internet standards, protocols, and programming languages are the underpinnings of a new breed of services in the GIS industry. Offered by application service providers (ASPs), these services make it easier to view, manipulate, analyze, and share spatial data without requiring additional software, hardware, or any programming experience. This discussion examines what you should expect from a GIS ASP in terms of functionality, service level guarantees, security, and scalability and explores how these services can be strategically integrated into your daily operations.
