#GWF2024 | Geospatial is at the core of enhancing efficiency, equity, and addressing key global challenges. At the first plenary of the Geospatial World Forum 2024 in Rotterdam, a diverse panel discussed the role of strategic partnerships. Sanjay Kumar, CEO, Geospatial World set the tone by reiterating his commitment towards Sustainability of Everything, which is not just about climate mitigation and energy transition, but focuses on inclusivity, diversity, and participation of everyone in the ecosystem. “Sustainability begins by viewing the world as a single ecosystem because everything is interlinked”, believes Dean Angelides, Corporate Director, Esri. “We are living beyond our means in many different ways. We have choices to act on how we work and act together”, he muses. Geospatial Information is critical at the local level and plays an increasing role for the industry in volume, investment, and transition”, says Stefan Schweinfest, Director, of the United Nations Statistics Division. Ron Jarmin, Deputy Director, U.S. Census Bureau, shares crucial insights on how geospatial data helps communities in gaining knowledge as well as ensuring connectivity and gaining deep divides. “We believe in the important role of geospatial information to support decision-making for economic growth”, says Dr.Eng, Mohammed Al Sayel, President, GEOSA- General Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information. He said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia focuses on building partnerships in geospatial. "Our four pillars are agile strategy, sustainable governance, enduring technology, and evolving capacity building”, he adds. #sustainable #inclusivity #diversity #Collaboration #geospatialinfrastructure #GeospatialWorldForum2024 #capacitybuilding #technology #Rotterdam #geospatialdata https://lnkd.in/gdM55UPV

📢 I am thrilled to announce the launch of a brand new, state-of-the-art Enterprise GIS platform here at Canadian Tire Corporation! 🌐🗺️   For years, geospatial data and analytics has played a crucial role in the decision-making process for countless teams across our organization and we’ve witnessed a growing demand for these types of insights.   Working with our partners at Esri Canada and leveraging CTC's partnership with Microsoft, our modernized system was built on Azure virtual machines and servers, providing improved power and stability for our GIS professionals to continue their exceptional geospatial analysis work.   By deploying this platform with the Enterprise in mind, we are breaking down a long-standing silo and empowering CTC to unlock the full potential of location-based insights within the decision-making process. I look forward to the innovation that will emerge as a result.   A few other key benefits of this deployment: Scalability and Flexibility. Our GIS infrastructure is designed to accommodate future growth and evolving needs. It enables us to adapt to emerging technologies and leverage the power of the cloud. Data Integration. CTC acquires various third-party datasets, including demographic data from Environics Analytics. By developing applications and visualizations that combine these third-party datasets with our essential first-party Triangle Loyalty data, we enhance the visibility of these datasets and enable the organization to explore new metrics as we pursue a data-driven culture. Improved Collaboration. We can effortlessly share maps, data, and analysis results, fostering innovation and efficiency throughout the organization.   Our journey to make this happen was not without its challenges, but witnessing the excitement among our colleagues as we launch dashboards and applications makes it all worthwhile.   I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the incredible project team who made this project possible. Their dedication and expertise have led to the development of a robust GIS infrastructure that will undoubtedly transform how CTC works with geospatial data. I would also like to thank our executive sponsors, whose support and belief in the potential of geospatial analytics enabled us to build a truly exceptional Enterprise GIS platform.   We are genuinely excited about the opportunities this modernization presents for data-driven decision-making, improved operational efficiency, and ultimately, better serving our customers, Making Life in Canada Better. cc: Esri Sean Sears #GIS #Geospatial #CanadianTire #Esri #Azure

Geospatial analysis involves examining geographic data to identify patterns and relationships. Using tools like GIS allows us to understand interactions between phenomena and the impacts of geographic factors, facilitating informed decisions based on the location of data.   The ESRI User Conference 2024, held annually in San Diego, is the premier global event for mapping and spatial analysis and highlight how new GIS tools are revolutionizing spatial data management, from collection to analysis and visualization. Sustainability will be a central theme, exploring how these technologies can advance the ESG agenda in areas such as environmental management, urban planning, and natural resources. It's a unique opportunity to explore the latest innovations in GIS technology and understand how to apply them to drive our projects at ERM.   Moreover, it will be an excellent opportunity for networking with industry professionals and exchanging valuable experiences. I am particularly interested in exploring trends and new practical applications that we can offer to our clients, solidifying our leadership in environmental consulting and sustainability. I am also very excited to join by invitation, for the second year, in the Senior Executive Summit (SES) to be held on Sunday, prior to the event opening on Monday. This is an exclusive event that brings together select executive thought leaders in an intimate setting to discuss how geospatial technology has elevated their organizations. This year, the SES will explore how the geographic approach and GIS technology help finding patterns, make connections, and discover relationships between geospatial data and the information that matters most to the organizations. Whether we are working to save the coastline or trying to improve our bottom line, linking why and where with GIS technology can help us make smarter decisions with greater clarity and insight.    #ESRIUserConference2024 #ESRIUC #ESRIUC2024 #Innovation #Technology #GIS #geospatialanalysis  ERM Esri
