Suzie Knauss
Q: What's your perspective on how GIS is evolving with AI and integration with CAD/BIM?
She notes that AI accelerates data extraction, table generation, and field workflow integration, predicting GIS will be embedded in almost everything, with rebranding and closer ties to CAD/BIM workflows, while emphasizing the ongoing need for data governance and proper use.
Suzie Knauss
Q: What are some of the challenges and opportunities you've seen with data interoperability and sharing among surveyors, DOTs, and counties?
Suzie discusses how data used to be siloed in different agencies, the shift to interoperable formats, the role of data exchange in reducing duplication and cost, and the importance of building data ecosystems that enable field crews to capture inventory and update maps in real time.
Suzie Knauss
Q: What is it about GIS that drew your interest given your strong engineering and IT background?
She explains that GIS grew from telecom and network operations—seeing real‑time, map‑based status and asset management inspired her to apply GIS across transportation and infrastructure, with a focus on data sharing and interoperable information across agencies.
