Building Local Government Enterprise GIS in a Limited Fiscal Environment Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Scott Bowman This paper will present the enterprise GIS Administration solutions to beating the all too common challenge of the development of an enterprise GIS from a decentralized and distributed department based GIS with limited impact to budgets due to current depleted fiscal environment. The approach includes the implementation and development of prioritized, focused phased projects using the existing enterprise GIS and IT resources to build an integrated rules-based GIS database design from the existing environment. The approach includes the evaluation of existing GIS datasets, GIS resources, elimination of redundancy, creation of GIS-based data service levels, implementation of GIS standards, and taking advantage of the GIS software (Esri ArcGIS) to deliver an enterprise level database supporting City needs. This report is the culmination of the first of five fiscal years of the project. The results are based upon the previously identified enterprise needs, accomplishments, and pitfalls of the enterprise GIS program and the baseline of the previous departmental GIS.
