Geospatial Enterprise systems are becoming more common with much of the content delivered via Web Service format to Web Browsers and mobile phones. This entry describes the benefits, governance, and costs of deploying a Geospatial Enterprise system within a mid-size (< 100 staff) governmental organization.
This article explores the historical and modern intersections of GIS&T and insurance, emphasizing how location intelligence has always been central to risk evaluation. It examines the current applications of GIS&T in insurance, including improved data collection, visualization, real-time risk monitoring, and dynamic pricing models like parametric insurance. Furthermore, it investigates how GIS&T is transforming insurance portfolio management through geographic concentration analysis, market penetration strategies, and network optimization. Looking ahead, the paper discusses the integration of GIS&T with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital twins to enhance predictive modeling and climate resilience. As the frequency and severity of natural disasters rise, insurers are leveraging GIS&T not only to assess risk but also to proactively mitigate losses and bolster community resilience.
