Effects of Information Technology Development on GIS Industry

This paper firstly analyzes the mechanism of the effects of IT on the GIS industry. Then based on the analysis of IT development trends, it tries to analyze the great effects of the IT development on the GIS industry. The information infrastructure has higher speed and capacity. The IT dynamically and itelligently processes larger quantity of data in real-time. The network and integration have been the emerging characteristics of information technology and applications. The trends of IT development have two different directions, both being more and more complex for professional use and more and more simple for public use. The middle-ware component technology is also the important trend. The IT development exerts great influence on the GIS industry. IT has been the most important innovation diffusion source of the GIS technology. It is also predicted to have deep and multi-aspect effects on the GIS industry in industrial standard, service mode, WebGIS architecture and business mode. The GIS application and industry will be more and more integrated and varied with the IT development.
