This study's intended audience include senior-level and business-focused executives, CIOs, and CXOs responsible for the commercial and back-office functions. This document enables organizations to:Assess their current state and readiness of their location and geospatial intelligence enablement.Benchmark their own maturity against the maturity level of their peers.Uncover maturity gaps and identify areas in need of improvement to support location and geospatial intelligence best practices.Identify the steps they need to take to advance to the next stage of maturity."Every enterprise seeks additional relevant context for processes and decision making, and location and geospatial intelligence has enormous potential to illuminate and improve how those are conducted today," said Lynne Schneider, research director, Location and Geospatial Intelligence at IDC.
