We're responding to new variants, adjusting to new social norms, and worrying about what's around the corner. But technology is changing fast, too, and we do have a say in which emerging solutions will best confront the unique challenges of our century. Remember how quickly Google Maps and Google Earth became a part of our lives? Now, maps are for much more than simply charting one's route from point A to point B. Geospatial data is opening up entirely new industries and empowering legacy businesses with new opportunities.LiDAR data can be used to create 3D models of buildings, roads, and other features. It's a great way to gain insight into the physical environment around you. LiDAR sensors use laser pulses to measure distances between the sensor and objects in its path. We've found GCP ideal for working with LiDAR data because it supports large datasets that are common to these sorts of expansive projects. It also allows users to quickly deploy applications, with Google BigQuery proving especially capable of analyzing billions of rows of geospatial data in mere minutes.GIS provides interactive maps based on location-based information such as streets, schools, hospitals, and natural resources, which makes it useful for everything from civil engineering to wildlife conservation. GIS is even becoming more prominent in the world of video games. IoT is a term used to describe the growing number of everyday objects that are connected to the Internet, which allows them to send and receive data from other devices or applications. As more devices become connected, it will be increasingly important for businesses to develop ways to make sense of all this data to gain insights into their operations. GCP provides some excellent tools for analyzing IoT data, including BigQuery, Cloud Pub/Sub, and Cloud Dataflow.Let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipGraphics & ArtEditorial StaffBen JacksonDaniel HolmesEzra BenjaminSoham SanyalRose DcruzSenior WritersClara MathewLeah JaneRoyce D'SouzaVictor Cruz Disclaimer: *Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOs
