Information technology (IT) and related fields are evolving rapidly, thus fueling trends in the geospatial and imaging industries. These trends are impacting all aspects of the geospatial value chain in an improvised manner. In this chain, Cloud Computing Platforms are the most new terminology in the field of Geospatial and IT technologies. The use of Cloud Computing concept in GIS is prevailing slowly and steadily. GIS Cloud allows anyone with a browser to instantly experience GIS for free. This innovative cloud computing technology gives subscribers full access to GIS tools such as data creation, analysis, editing and visualization. Simple collaborative utilities further enhance the spread of GIS across an office or across the globe.

The workshop on Cloud Computing would give a brief overview of the upcoming technology and how companies are adopting this fresh technology rapidly.
