In just the past three years the Geographic Information System (GIS) market has changed radically, says CIO Magazine, a publication for information executives. "A technology that was once considered too specialized to fall within the domain of the IS department has become just another enterprise technology ..." Users no longer need to be specialists to work with GIS, according to the article, "GIS Goes Worldwide." One expert predicts that GIS technology will be largely invisible within three years. Small companies are already beginning to offer the ability to do complex spatial queries with enterprise data through a web interface. The article says those companies will host data and even combine it with other third-party data resources.
