Operational Impact
With Google Cloud, Airbus has built a highly secure, cloud-based platform, capable of delivering data and imagery to its customers at unprecedented speed. The robust, global network of Google helps ensure that the OneAtlas platform can deliver the same high-quality service to its customers wherever they are in the world. The new platform also enables Airbus to make its image products much more affordable for smaller organizations, such as NGOs or farmers who can take advantage of newer, lower-cost options like streaming data for a limited time or only paying for the images they use, instead of more traditional subscriptions models. Airbus Intelligence is also working on a range of additions to OneAtlas which include expanding its Data as a Service offers beyond the Basemap service to include more high-resolution imagery, elevation data, and automated change detection. Other services will include industry-specific analytics services for Agriculture, Maritime, and other markets. | |
