Every day as a GIS professional is a mission. You're expected to be a cartographer, coder, analyst, data cleaner, and UI/UX expert. All at once. Someone walks into your office and says: "Can you make this interactive map 3D, with live sensor feeds and we need it to work

Open Source GIS is not secure. It's not powerful enough. Ever heard these phrases? In 2025? Where do the narratives come from? - A lack of centralised branding makes open source feel “unofficial.” - People confuse free access with free-for-all security. - Some believe that if

Geospatial development used to mean choosing between mobile, web or desktop. The boundaries are gone. Today’s devs are building cloud-native, real-time and AI-powered platforms that run across all devices. The shift wasn’t accidental. It was driven by: – Real-time demand –

Keep your GIS skills sharp. With the global GIS market projected to grow 13% through 2025 and beyond, spatial intelligence is now essential for informed decision-making, AI, digital twins, and other applications. This wave is just getting started.

Intentional Integration Intentional integration is helping break the GIS silos. Spatial intelligence is driving decisions at the top. From management decisions to operations, GIS is making a difference. How do we break the GIS silo? It's simple, but not easy. Organisations

As AI transforms different sectors, Geo-IT and GIS are evolving differently. GIS is becoming intelligent. - AI enables pattern detection, automated classification and real-time predictions. Maps now think. Geo-IT is becoming scalable. - Scaling from infrastructure to

I believe it’s time we stop treating maps as passive tools. They’re evolving into thinking systems and that changes everything. The fusion of AI and GIS is no longer experimental. It’s operational, and it’s redefining how we generate value from location data: - Neurogeography

GIS is disappearing and nobody’s talking about it I’ve been reflecting on a shift that’s been happening quietly but powerfully: GIS is no longer something we always see, but it’s everywhere. From precision agriculture and real-time logistics to digital twins and AI-powered

As a GIS professional, what matters most in your work? Today, let's focus on Context. Context is what turns spatial data into spatial insight. Without it, a map is just color, shape and guesswork. Here’s what we often forget: - A polygon means nothing if you don’t know what it

New week. New layers of perspective. In GIS, it's tempting to chase the latest software, APIs or satellite data sources. But here's the truth: Tools don’t solve problems, people do. And the best people? They lead with context. Before opening that GIS software or coding

Yes, GIS is powerful. Yes, the possibilities are endless. But unless you take control of your learning, growth and direction, you risk becoming just a map-maker in a world demanding problem-solvers. Here’s your mid-week check-in: When was the last time you: - Learned beyond
