Maps are everywhere—on the Internet, in our car, and even on our mobile phone. Moreover, maps of the twenty-first century are not just paper diagrams folded like an accordion. Maps today are colorful, searchable, interactive, and shared. This transformation of the static map into dynamic and interactive multimedia reflects the integration of technological innovation and vast amounts of geographic data. The key technology behind this integration, and subsequently the maps of the twenty-first century, is geographic information systems or GIS.

s :
The Geographic Information System (GIS) market is evolving from a distinct software market into a decision support technology. The map based visualization and real-time information exchange is transforming planning, research and development, deployment and monitoring.
While a lot of spatial data has been collected, only recently workflow and information management systems are being developed that are able to link and process spatial and non-spatial data for decision support systems.
Government continues be the largest consumer of GIS, for a multitude of applications and e-governance initiatives. Private players in the field of telecom, infrastructure development and retail have also started taking advantage of this technology.
The demand for GIS solutions seems favourable :
(a) … Provide reasons for the demand here.
(b)
(2) TNT Positon of Strength on Cost & Technology Parameters :
One of the biggest selling points for GIS Software as a Service (SaaS) is the potential to reduce IT support costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support to the SaaS provider. Moving GIS to the cloud is likely to prove more cost effective, flexible, and productive for organizations wishing to rapidly deliver new capabilities. Further, use of open source platforms is desirable as they are more likely to receive software support from multiple vendors.
While the GIS players have mainly used closed-ended platforms of companies like ESRI and Intergraph, that entail upfront high license costs, extensive hardware requirements, require software to be built on the platforms for the end-use requirements. Even then these products have been rigid to use due to the difficulty and limitations in the extent of customization.
TNT on the other hand has leveraged their founders’ extensive domain knowledge to create a proprietary technology platform, which is hosted on a cloud and customized for Asian use in the fields of property tax, water & sanitation, monitoring of structures like dams & bridges and survey of heritage sites. Other modules are being prepared. As these solutions don’t require any licensing cost and minimal hardware requirements, TNT offerings are 35-80% cheaper t ...
The advent of technology and the vision to keep track with the latest technology, we the RKM group now indulging us in the field of GIS to integrate the mission friendly environment.
Moreover, the branch of GIS is a peculiar stream to convey the message of nature in visualizing, analyzing, interpreting the wide geographically concern scenario. A decision making tool that helps provide a better assessment and utilization of the resources.
GIS is a computer-based tool used and managed by people to efficiently capture, store, integrate, analyze and display spatial (geographically referenced) data & associated attribute data

Surviving the 4th Industrial RevolutionKendall James
Geospatial technologies, Internet of Things and Digital Transformation are all converging rapidly leaving plenty in its wake. Do we in the geospatial industry have the skills to survive the next wave of innovation?
We experience our 3D world through a series of 2D interfaces. Our maps break down data into layer upon layer of geospatial information. We don't need to do that anymore, we can escape these flatlands and enjoy a dynamic experience where our real-world and digital world are intrinsically similar.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

6. What is a Smart City?
6
A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate multiple information and
communication technology (ICT) and Internet of things (IoT) solutions in a secure
fashion to manage a city's assets – the city's assets include, but are not limited to, local
departments' information systems, schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals,
power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, and other
community services.
The goal of building a smart city is to improve quality of life by using urban
informatics and technology to improve the efficiency of services and meet residents'
needs.
ICT allows city officials to interact directly with the community and the city infrastructure
and to monitor what is happening in the city, how the city is evolving, and how to enable
a better quality of life.
Through the use of sensors integrated with real-time monitoring systems, data are
collected from citizens and devices – then processed and analysed. The information and
knowledge gathered are keys to tackling inefficiency.
Sectors that have been developing smart city technology include government services,
transport and traffic management, energy, health care, water, innovative urban
agriculture and waste management.

system of record for maps, and ERP
– the system of record for business
data, closer together
Combination of geospatial data –
imagery, point cloud, design, GPS,
historical, vector and terrain etc. with
data from sensors and assets, and
the Internet of Things
With business data from operations, customers, finance and marketing
Models incl. maps, graphs, stats etc.
Powerful combination of data that has not been visible AND as accessible before

26. The ‘spatial enterprise’
27
Asset intensive industries – energy, transportation, public sector
Ability to visualise business objects on maps is critical to improving efficiency and decision
making
Organisations can streamline processing of enterprise AND spatial data – greater location
awareness across business processes
Track devices when they enter, leave or stay in defined areas
World events that will impact on operations – political and weather to take decisive action
Resolve boundary issues ‘Where do we dig?’, ‘Where are the zone boundaries?’, What
underground lines exist here?’, ‘How close are they to buildings, people and other assets?’
Instantly visualise routing scenarios
Approx. 80% of enterprises have location data
Use this to model competitor, customers and economic to make an informed new business
decision
