The PwC Report
A study from PwC, From Maps to Systems of Insight, highlights a shift in how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used. Once simple mapping tools, GIS has become a strategic enterprise platform, vital for utilities, telecommunications, and public services to ensure operational resilience.
This transition positions GIS as an essential operational backbone, delivering actionable insights and driving excellence. With transformative tech trends propelling growth, the GIS market is projected to hit $1.3 billion by 2030.
GIS: The Backbone of Modern Infrastructure
Geospatial solutions have emerged as a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, playing a critical role across the entire asset lifecycle—from planning and design to construction, operations, and decommissioning. This technology offers a unified, location-aware source of truth, fostering collaboration among engineers, IT teams, and field crews. Insights from industry professionals highlight its growing importance in streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency.
From Niche Tool to Enterprise Platform
This shift moves GIS from a niche application to an essential enterprise platform. When combined with technologies like digital twins, next-generation data models, and AI-powered analytics, geospatial platforms enable predictive maintenance, performance simulations, and real-time operational decision-making.
