Cloud and open source GIS
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?
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
Effective Communication
• Clear Messages• Reduce Complexity• Don’t have opinions on
everything• Good and Bad News
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?

Goverment dont always Understand What the people Want?
What governments often Deliver
why is crowd sourcing important?
Crowd Source – Group Collaboration is more powerful than individual achievement

Typical Individual effort
many hours, one map2
OpenStreetMap, 2011
200,000 contributors, one map3
why is open source important?
"Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow."
- Eric S. Raymond, co-founder of the Open Source Initiative

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

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..
