Abstract
Next Generation Information Sources For Business Analysis
Track: Business, Banking, and Insurance
Author(s): Kevin S Hutchins, Jim Barrett
Applications such as Esri's BusinessMAP PRO have been developed to leverage the nature of geospatial information to make mission-critical business decisions. Full realization of the value of these tools is limited by lack of available, accurate, up-to-date geospatial information. Moving into the 21st century, sources of visual and map-ready content are becoming more prevalent from high-resolution satellites such as IKONOS. Fresh and accurate geographic information can be extracted from this unique source and used in analysis by BusinessMAP PRO. The key challenge, then, is providing access to up-to-date, fresh geographic information. This paper will discuss this challenge and solutions that leverage the Internet.
