Abstract


Paper  Work/Data Modeling: From GIS Needs Assessments to IS Functional Requirement
Track: Application Development
Author(s): Peter Godfrey Jr.

As the nexus between the GIS and IS sectors and platforms had become more blurred, the importance of efficient integration of GIS technology into the business process work flow has become paramount. Through graphic business process modeling, insight into both GIS applications, legacy database integration opportunities, and impacts to the work flow that will need to be addressed through business reengineering can be identified. This presentation will discuss multiple projects and the identification of priority GIS applications and system functional requirements through business modeling. The methodology presented will not only result in appropriate software specs and interface requirements but will also minimize client organizational "surprises" during implementation.
