Our view of geospatial information, technology and intelligence
Geospatial information refers to the information that describes the location and names of features above the Earth’s surface. + Geospatial technology describes the integration, display and analysis of that information in a spatial context. = Geospatial Intelligence brings insight for a more sustainable future.
Latin America Geospatial Forum 2013 DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Business Confidential 13
Our view on geospatial intelligence’s role in sustainability
Geospatial intelligence helps individuals, businesses, governments and the scientific community make better decisions for a more sustainable future. - Well-informed decisions save time, money and lives. - New geospatial technologies make sharing and analyzing of information easier. - The exponential global growth of mobile devices makes the marriage of real-time information and location a reality leading to new insights.
