WHAT DO WE DO IN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT?
WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We are your neighbors
We are your customers
We are your visitors
We are as close to the daily lives of PEOPLE as you can get
All you have to do is look at a recent catastrophe
To find out what happens when local government
Doesn’t work

http://gisgeography.com/mapping-out-gis-software-landscape/
•1 ArcGIS (Esri)
• Esri leads the GIS software industry in user community discussion, employer
software usage and academic research – by a substantial margin
• What is the secret to Esri’s success? Cartographical output, functionality, large
user community, stability, interoperability, scalability, modeling, web mapping,
maintenance, data driven pages, high cost.
• 2 QGIS (Quantum GIS)
• The accelerating use in QGIS represents the most significant open source
technology adoption in GIS today.
• 400 - This is the number of plugins QGIS has to offer
• Large user base, 64-bit background geoprocessing, plugins, quality cartography,
widely believed as best open source option, stunningly beautiful options for
labeling objects, free GIS software
• OTHERS

MAPPING INDUSTRY TRENDS I SAW AT JS.GEO
Mappers Are Coming From Everywhere
“We can debate all day the pros and cons of making maps without
a traditional background in GIS and Cartography (that’s what Twitter is
for, right?). But the fact is the field has never been more diverse with
new mappers often going to school in the halls of Github and
StackOverflow. “
