GIS has continued to evolve in the wake of technological changes, user needs, system demands, increased data availability, and other factors. Having the capability to shift from paper maps to putting mobile GIS in the hands of people who are far removed from the desktop GIS software is huge and expands the user community for a given organization. Changing demands on GIS have allowed the user community to implement products, workflows, and procedures to improve response times, restoration efforts, and improve safety. GIS is experiencing a shift from a tool in the box to a foundational piece of technology for users and companies across the board. It really is amazing what GIS can do and what it can help users do that really wouldn't have been possible even a few years ago the way it is today.
