FEBRUARY 20266 Spatial Intelligence as Enterprise InfrastructureEditorialAcross sectors driven by infrastructure, utilities, and public services, geographic data is evolving from a supporting function into a strategic platform for operational control and long-term planning. This issue examines how enterprises across infrastructure, utilities, engineering, and public services are redefining spatial intelligence as a core operational capability in environments that increasingly demand real-time visibility, integration, and enterprise-scale decision-making.Our cover story recognizes HanoIT as the Top GIS Development Solution 2026 for repositioning GIS as a mission-critical enterprise platform. Operating at the intersection of location intelligence and digital transformation, HanoIT designs architecture-first environments that unify data, workflows, licensing, security, and analytics. Its approach integrates on-premises, cloud, and hybrid models while optimizing licensing and ensuring interoperability. By embedding advanced analytics, IoT integrations, and AI into GIS workflows, HanoIT enables predictive maintenance, routing optimization, environmental modeling, and executive-level dashboards. The result is a resilient, scalable system of record that supports both daily operations and long-term planning.This edition also features leadership perspectives that address execution discipline across complex operating environments. Nathan Kimpel, Head of Technology Multifamily at Cushman & Wakefield, outlines a platform leadership model grounded in clear guardrails, vendor governance, security-by-design principles, and incremental value delivery. His emphasis on identity-centric security, zero trust, and operational alignment underscores the convergence of digital and physical systems.Kyle Moore, Senior Vice President of Construction at Landmark Properties, examines supply chain volatility and the operational controls required to sustain project delivery. Through standardized product strategy, early design involvement, and strong vendor relationships, Landmark mitigates disruption while maintaining quality and cost discipline.What connects these perspectives is a shared commitment to alignment where architecture, governance, and execution move in concert. Collectively, they underscore a consistent message: enterprise platforms succeed when design discipline and operational rigor are tightly integrated. We invite you to explore the insights in this issue and engage with the leaders shaping the next phase of applied technology.
