Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5czsmc/global_cloud_gis) has announced the addition of the "Global Cloud GIS Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global cloud GIS market to grow at a CAGR of 11.03% during the period 2016-2020.

Migration has been a major concern for many organizations shifting from an on-premises system to a cloud system. Multiple companies have launched software products to tackle this issue. For instance, Esri's Amazon Machine Images (AMI), a virtual machine creator, helps Esri users with quick deployment, coupled with high flexibility and scalability. AMI is preloaded with ArcGIS server software, a software that manages GIS web services and data.

According to the report, cloud GIS provide media-enriched location information from any place, at any time provided there is a fast and reliable Internet connection. Compared to traditional GIS, this method of data retrieval saves on time and cost because it makes it faster and easier to obtain data. It also takes less time to analyze, share, and publish data and makes it easy to update and review previous data. It is user-friendly too, as decision-making and workflow can be streamlined with accurate information.

Further, the report states that the need for a reliable Internet connection and low Internet penetration in Asia Pacific (APAC) are the major challenges hindering market growth.
