Realworld Summit 19th September 2013

GE Proprietary and Confidential

Geospatial Technologies in 2013

Enterprise GIS • Complex schemas • Complex “big” applications • Rigorous data quality rules • Terabytes of data • Enterprise-oriented • Desktop oriented • Design, Engineering & Records

Maintenance departments

Foundational, well-

established & extremely

business-focused

GIS in the Cloud • Simple schemas • Simple “small” applications • Crowdsourcing • Petabytes, exabytes - “Big data” • Cloud-oriented • Web & mobile oriented • The entire enterprise, customers –

“everyone else”

Popular, lots of tools &

technology




Key Questions

There has been a huge increase in the awareness of the power of GIS data

This raises the following questions for businesses: • How can I extend the reach of my GIS data and gain higher

return on investment? • How can I effectively re-use my investment in established

GIS to meet this demand? • How can I use cloud capabilities to offer business

solutions, as opposed to tools & technology?




GE’s Strategy

Use both established and cloud GIS capabilities to solve business problems

• …by using existing technology & best-of-breed from third parties

Create Small Focused Applications in addition to existing engineering solutions

• Targeting different user communities and their business problems

The richness and maturity of Enterprise GIS with the accessibility of the Cloud
