 Technical and Logisitical Issues in Mobile Mapping Implementations Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): James Ritchie, Maria Delgado, Thomas Dollente, Randal Rios For the last two years, the City of Phoenix Water Services Department (WSD) had been involved in a mobile mapping project for its field services personnel. While political, cultural, and financial issues will always be part of any software implementation, the technical and logistical challenges of actually deploying a system are greatly increased when dealing with mapping systems for mobile users. This presentation highlights some logistical and technical focal points in a mobile mapping implementation. Integration teams must balance attention to the mobile devices, mobile operating systems, mobile middleware, physical appurtenances, networks (both terrestrial and wireless), databases, applications (GIS and others), and support/maintenance. The WSD implementation will serve as a case study. Their project used Esri products and other technologies to satisfy the mobile mapping needs of more than 450 field users. Members of different technical groups from the project will provide insight from various perspectives.
