Next gen geospatial platform with Google Cloud

We are excited to have Chad Jennings, Google Cloud Product Manager for BigQuery, back on the Location Matters podcast, speaking alongside our very own Executive Director, Nathan Eaton.

In this episode, Chad and Nathan discuss Google Cloud geospatial updates, including developments with running Esri ArcGIS within Google Cloud. They also touch on some of the cool sustainable supply chain initiatives they have been collaborating on, and the noticeable increase in popularity they’re seeing when it comes to businesses harnessing the power of Google Cloud and GIS technology together – which are outside of the typical industries you’d see using maps. If that sounds interesting to you, tune in!
