Defining Modern GIS

Modern GIS is the process, systems, and technology used to drive insights from geospatial data. It utilizes open, interoperable, and standards-based technology that can be run locally or in the cloud, and is scalable to handle different types, velocities, and scales of data. The flexibility of modern GIS allows for various outputs, including maps, dashboards, APIs, applications, machine learning models, and more. The key is to focus on solving problems and delivering value using geospatial data, and the tools and techniques can vary based on individual needs and preferences.
