Land Work and the
Advancement of Technology
GIS mapping
• Reduced or eliminated
need for hand-drawn maps
• Introduced layers
• Easily transferrable
Cloud Computing
What’s in a name?
• Software as a service, virtualization, cloud hosting, enterprise
solution– I’M SCARED!
•
“Cloud technology” refers to software that does not require that
the user know where the information is physically kept or how it is
configured– the information is generally spread across many
different servers and accessed via the Internet.
• This creates what’s called a “virtual environment,” a concept that is
changing the way we think about software– as a service that you
pay for monthly, rather than a product that you purchase one time.
Online Collaboration
• Email is best for two way
communication
• Basecamp is the leading online
project collaboration tool
• Go To Meeting provides
video and teleconferencing
Corporate Website
• The corporate website is increasingly the first line of
contact with new customers, especially international
clients.
• A website attempts to deliver just three types of
outcomes:
– Increase revenue
– Reduce cost
– Improve customer satisfaction/loyalty

Conclusion
• Technology is a game changer: it affects all
aspect of landwork, from the individual, to the
corporation, to the professional association.
• Land must embrace Internet and new
technology, regardless of the growing pains
associated with the transition: new paradigm
means doing away with “business as usual”
• Training and Education are key
