In this episode of On Point with Korem, I spoke with Dr. Sarah Battersby, a principal research scientist at Tableau, a Salesforce company and a former associate professor of geography at the university of South Carolina. Dr. Battersby spoke to the issue regarding the overlap of functionality between GIS and business intelligence and how much functionality should be developed within BI tools vs. how much is actually used and needed. She talked about how location analytics has become a true differentiator in the BI space. As a former university professor she advocated for the need to insert geospatial technology into curriculums designed for the business professionals.
