Cloud and open source GIS

Page 2: Gis   open source and cloud potentials

The Currency of your data• Automating Change

Management• Information where and when it is

required• Flexible digital delivery• Data Accuracy Improvement• Do you trust your Data enough to

share it?

Page 3: Gis   open source and cloud potentials

5 Business Drivers

• SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, Web 2.0 / 3.0, Peer to Peer• Addressing and Adapting change and to change

The World has to be on the Cloud

• Instantaneous, Online Response from Inter-continental companies• Digital Supply Chain across Global companies / across the globeThe World is Flat

• Environmental Compliance• Reduce your own and your companies Carbon FootprintThe world is green

• Consumers and Workforce - always on - connected anywhere• Increased demand and expectation for servicesThe World is Mobile

• Energy and Cost Efficient Computing and Data Centres• Flatter Budgets require Efficiencies CAPX and OPEX

The World of Low Cost ICT

Page 4: Gis   open source and cloud potentials

Effective Communication

• Clear Messages• Reduce Complexity• Don’t have opinions on

everything• Good and Bad News

Page 5: Gis   open source and cloud potentials
Page 6: Gis   open source and cloud potentials

Security is changing

• Security has to be appropriate• Security has to be measured • Can have things so secure that they are

unusable.

Cloud / Open is forcing ChangeWith or Without the Owners / Shareholders

So far ICT has not fundamentally changed government

• 1990s: lCT expected to make government more transparent, efficient and user oriented

• 2005+: disillusion as bureaucracy still in existence

• Can Cloud Help?

Jane E. Fountain – Gov 1.0 – Just Replicating the Silos on the Internet

Goverment dont always Understand What the people Want?

What governments often Deliver

Page 12: Gis   open source and cloud potentials

why is crowd sourcing important?

Crowd Source – Group Collaboration is more powerful than individual achievement

why is open source important?

"Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow."

- Eric S. Raymond, co-founder of the Open Source Initiative

why is open source important?

“Think free as in free speech, not free beer.”

- Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation

who uses open source?

90% of supercomputers60% of internet servers30% of smart phones

What is Cloud?

A pool of highly scalable, abstracted infrastructure, capable of hosting end-customer applications, that is billed by consumption.

What has Cloud ever done for GIS?

Apart from Scale, Enterprise Mapping, Open Data, Standards, Google, API’s, Open Street Maps, Map Servers,

GIS - More than just Location, Spatial Analysis and wider adoption now possible

Page 27: Gis   open source and cloud potentials

Why do Government use GIS• Massive demand for timely, relevant information — “picture says a

1000 words” • Support decision making

– Provide users with all the information required to make an informed decision.– Ability to integrate vast amounts of data within one View (Mashup)– Exploit visualisation techniques to present information according to user

preference (Raster, vector, 3D, tabular etc) – Visualise /identify patterns/trends etc – Personalisation– Mobile

The Data Underworld

Massive network of services: water, sewage, drains … Need to know asset location for planning and maintenance Many databases, varying accuracy and provenance Context

Ongoing street openings p.a. Safety!

Its all about where..
