Note: Every GIS/Geospatial package relies on a database to store, update, retrieve and query multidimensional data. These databases may be IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle databases, among others. Many corporations or other entities acquire database technology for a variety of uses; it is impossible to measure with any degree of accuracy the GIS/Geospatial-related revenue generated by database technology providers. Therefore, while these solution providers are critical to the GIS/Geospatial market, this charts exclude database-related revenue. Similarly, GIS/Geospatial implementation services are offered by thousands of companies globally. The revenues of companies that provide geospatial implementation services only are not reflected in these charts.
Note: Some charts include Data revenue, others do not. Where data is included, it is noted in the chart title.
