Using GIS to Create Wealth in Georgia
Track: Electric Utilities
Author
Utilities have discovered the importance that GIS has in their economic development organization and their role in growing the economy of the areas they serve. Georgia Power's Economic Development group is using GIS to showcase available properties and other key datasets to its users in a highly intuitive GIS website. They understand that having a state of the art GIS web application is critical in order to maintain its role as a leader in economic development in the state. With its SelectGeorgia.net GIS web application, Georgia Power has continued its long history of leveraging innovations in GIS technology to attract new business and retain existing industries.
The session will cover how Georgia Power went about setting up their economic development GIS capabilities and how they are using state of the art GIS and enterprise web technology to create an effective web application to help create wealth in Georgia.
