GIS in a Box: Managing a Growing GIS Track: GIS Organization and Management Author(s): Tracy Moy Mix ingredients and watch it grow! Do you wish there were simple step-by-step directions for a successful GIS? It would be great if GIS came in a box, like a cake mix, and you only had to add water and watch it grow. It is not quite that simple! GIS comes in all shapes and sizes; however, there are some basic steps that every GIS should include no matter how large or small the system. This paper will discuss the common ingredients for a successful GIS, including the basic components, life cycle, management methodologies, and a discussion of pitfalls that can cause failure. You are invited to examine the past, present, and future direction of GIS at Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
