Moving Forward

• Investment justified strategically; operational efficiency gains largely already realised in initial ‘enterprise’ GIS.

• Business community ‘gets it’ and sees the value in understanding the relationship between a firms capabilities and their markets.

• Leverage commonly used data, focus on managing own information

• Insisting on Geospatial information as a corporate resource, not held hostage by or subservient to any one application.

• Embrace the relationships internally and externally: Invest heavily in overcoming the ‘soft’ barriers.
