13:40 - Effective Strategies & Latest Solutions For Data Analysis Deriving accurate, mission critical intelligence from satellite and aerial imagery using automated, high speed image processing solutions. Michael W.Powers, Technical Director, US Army Stefan Carlyle, Program Director, DEFRA Scott Simmons, Executive VP of Technology, TECHNIGRAPHICS David Stanley, Chief Techololgy Officer, PCI Geomatics Timely and effective analysis of GIS data is at the heart of most decisions in defence and national security organizations. Are you analyzing data to give your GIS users the best possible information? Does your organization suffer from too much data and not enough analysis? Can you benefit from seeing how your colleagues from other countries segment and process data on a daily basis? Will you be looking to find new state-of-the-art solutions to help you analyse your imagery and non-imagery data? If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then this session is ideal for you and your data management architects. Find out how your colleagues and solution providers: Segment and organize their data Share data with other organizations and departments Enable data analysis on a continuous basis Implement a long-term data analysis strategy across their GIS organization Michael W.Powers Technical Director, US Army Stefan Carlyle Program Director, DEFRA Scott Simmons Executive VP of Technology, TECHNIGRAPHICS David Stanley Chief Techololgy Officer, PCI Geomatics
