Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drone technology, is dramatically changing the way we live and work. UAVs are creating new jobs and industries, saving lives, and providing scientific, economic, and social benefits that our society is just beginning to explore. In the past, UAVs have most often been used in the military, but now drones are being used in a wide range of civilian activities such as search and rescue missions, traffic and weather monitoring, construction projects, photography and videography, and even home deliveries. In business, world drones have proven to be especially useful. Manufacturers and big-box retailers can more efficiently manage their warehouses. Real estate companies are creating more compelling aerial footage to advertise their properties while utility companies are using drones to more safely inspect cellphone towers and utility lines.

Companies such as Liberty Mutual and Travelers have begun using drones in full force while others such as State Farm and National Insurance have just begun

One of the great innovations of drones is that they can provide a wealth of data that can be useful to anyone from farmers and movie makers to construction companies and insurance adjusters. Yet, even after you have flown a flawless flight and collected detailed information, there is one important question that remains: What do you do with the data? Don’t worry. Tech entrepreneurs have you covered. Established companies and new start-ups have founded a wide range of hardware, software, and analytic services to suit your drone data needs. Drone Workforce Solutions CEO Theophilus Nix, Jr. has highlighted three software companies to watch: Skyward.
