Geographical info systems are no longer just for engineers and planners - what are the
needs of today’s business world for location intelligence, and how is IT helping to
address them?
Vehicle tracking, traffic information, journey planning, market analysis, site
assessment, customer analysis, GPS (global positioning systems), satellite navigation
– how are GIS systems being developed, integrated and used for these and other
functions re. population, mapping, business intelligence, sales & marketing,
procurement, supply chain and CRM?
In this brief event we took a satellite-level view at the wide horizons of this world
of possibilities, then ‘zoomed in’ on some realities of using GIS for specific
needs of today.

Speech recognition technology is here and now – how can you benefit?
Why is it only here and there – what’s the ‘sound barrier’ to it
being everywhere?
In this event we got through the ‘background noise’ to examine aspects of
this key topic.
