Spatial analysis allows for understanding the world by leveraging geographic knowledge to help solve problems. Geographic information system (GIS) workflows like asset management are key, and analytics on big data collections are a major business trend. The complexity of enterprise infrastructure can be addressed through elastic, scalable infrastructure as a service from cloud providers. Users want applications that are easy to deploy and have a great user experience more than specific services.
