Track: GIS Organization, Management and Implementation
Author(s): Brent Johnson, Evan Brown, David Crosby, Stephen Brown

Since 2002, Sarasota County, Florida, has had an established Enterprise GIS. Once the GIS operations were in place the county recognized the strategic value of GIS technology and the need to apply its use to business processes. The county began an Evolution of GIS from reactive project development to proactive customer driven project planning. This effort was driven by a set of GIS Vision Meetings, which allows the county to analyze, identify, develop, and prioritize GIS. This new organizational model is based on four functions or taxonomy's of county services, built, environmental, social, and economic rather than the traditional departmental or unit based organization. This allows more of a distributed GIS, which leads to collaboration, cooperation, coordination, and commonality of GIS within the county.
