Rapid Decision Making with Geographic Analytics

In a world of big data, traditional business analytics reaches quickly its boundaries: Data is plentifully available, but the effort to gather, clean and to understand the data can be a painful, lengthy process. Furthermore, the results of the analysis might fail the reality check.

Geographic Analytics (GA) and Geographic Decision Support Systems (GDSS) have been developed to address these issues, radically speeding up the time-to-insight by leveraging the visualization of data on maps and by shifting the analytics from myriads of data points to visuals on a geographic map. GA and GDSS enable geographic decision making more effectively, with deeper insight and with better alignment.

In this talk, Prof. Jozo Acksteiner will introduce the concept of Geographic Analytics and how it is being applied. The presentation will also deep dive into used cases such as Pandemic (Covid-19) Response Systems (an example external page here), Supply Chain Disaster Recovery and Network Optimisation.
