Abstract
The Future is Now: Accessing and Managing Geospatial Data in 2015 is Easier Than Ever

Managing your geospatial data doesn’t have to be a headache. In a world where everyone has more data coming at them than they know what to do with, we could all use some help managing the massive amounts of valuable business information we receive. With this in mind, Airbus Defence and Space, one of the world’s leading providers of satellite imagery products and geospatial solutions, now offers a full suite of Data Management Services that allow organizations to best utilize their geospatial assets. Geospatial data access, management, storage, distribution, geoprocessing, collaboration and even rapid acquisition of satellite images through virtual tasking are now being managed easily and cost-effectively by organizations through the world, either in the Cloud or on premises. Long gone are the days of sifting through multiple file folders or even (gasp!) DVDs to locate the previously purchased imagery needed for your project. Say goodbye to complicated ordering processes and waiting months for newly collected imagery as well. Through their own technology and strong strategic partnerships with online services and software providers, Airbus Defence and Space is ensuring access to high quality satellite imagery and other geospatial products and services has never been easier.
