Geospatial Technology Report Surveys Deadline Quickly Approaching
GIS Users Should Complete Surveys by Aug. 15 to Receive a Free Copy
The Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA) is pleased to announce that it has launched the data collection process for its eighth annual Geospatial Technology Report.
The report will contain detailed information on the complexity, direction, and completeness of geographic information systems (GIS) projects being implemented at nearly 400 infrastructure-based organizations around the world. Users with active GIS implementations are invited to complete the survey at gita.org/gtr_survey. User organizations that complete the survey will receive a free copy of the report. The 2006-2007 edition is currently selling for $449 for GITA nonmembers and $299 for members. The deadline to complete the survey is Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2007.
Other than company name, number of customers, and start date of the companies’ GIS, all information is kept confidential, and none of the data provided is associated with the responding organizations in the published report.
The survey saw a record 31% growth in 2006 as nearly 400 user organizations participated. GITA is hoping to continue growing the survey by making it easier to fill out. Information from past participants has been saved, so they can simply login and enter in updates and new data.
The report is widely hailed as one of the major industry surveys of the geospatial community. The 2006-2007 report is available for purchase at www.gita.org/gtr.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
