Deployment TypesDeployment Types

There are two main ways mobile GIS technology is deployed There are two main ways mobile GIS technology is deployed within an enterprise:within an enterprise:

Geocentric deployment Geocentric deployment –– where end user operates where end user operates entirely with their maps and GIS capabilitiesentirely with their maps and GIS capabilities

GeoGeo--enabled deployment enabled deployment –– where end users leverages where end users leverages maps and GIS capabilities to support their other maps and GIS capabilities to support their other business tasksbusiness tasks
