Tacoma Economic Development: GIS Diversity, SAP Addresses, and 3D Visualization
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Donna Wendt

In order to promote economic development, measure growth, and create comprehensive plans, the Tacoma Economic Development Department requires GIS data from other city, utility, regional, and state agencies. GIS applications used to effectively accomplish this work are as diverse as the data collected from the many sources. Applications, data connections, and relationships with other departments and agencies are documented. Two applications are highlighted: the GIS address interface into Tacoma's new enterprise SAP system, which replaces over 100 old computer applications, and 3D visualization of neighborhood development.
