Today's competitive business environment has required organizations to become more diligent about their Information Technology (IT) investments. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) are no different.

This has meant that business units advocating or using GIS must now compete for their share of a limited, and often shrinking, capital IT budget.

Are you also facing these common challenges?

  • Competing with other departments/initiatives to secure an appropriate share of IT related budget
  • Having to prove the real (quantified) value of an GIS-related investment to secure budget sign-off
  • Seeking to more effectively prioritize GIS-related investments based on the value delivered to the business
  • Seeking ways to decompose complex GIS programs into manageable components so you can deliver them successfully and in planned stages
  • Struggling with the delivering of a growing portfolio of complex GIS-enabled initiatives
  • Being challenged to make a visible and tangible impact to the business, not just meeting project milestones


EUCI has developed a mission critical event based out of the need for efficiency in your GIS system. The "GIS: Real Business Value" conference will bring you face-to-face with GIS experts who will deliver tangible take-home answers to more effectively secure GIS-related budget; and utilize your GIS, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and Data Management tools.

Recent global financial implications along with your long term sustainable business practices need to be considered with equal weight. Attend GIS: Real Business Value and discover first hand:
