Authors: David Wyatt

Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) Governmental Tribal departments are challenged with efficient services to Tribal members: project management, decision support, permitting, services, land management and collaboration with Federal/State. EBCI developed an enterprise GIS 'Tribal-Integrated-Geographic-Information-System (IGIS)" to serve as the central repository of geographically related government services/business workflow. The EBCI GIS will demonstrate ArcServer Applications Intergraded with Document Management to facilitate efficient Project Management and Services.

The IGIS system supports web-services/based applications for land evaluation, land records management, economic assessment/planning, development review, inspection, management, permitting. IGIS integrates business requirements/evaluation by housing, utilities/engineering, cultural/environmental and integration of business, archeological/environmental/disaster planning services. IGIS serves fundamental governmental roles by providing efficient services to Cherokee. IGIS supports: .Transparency .Interagency/inter-government information exchange with USDOI/BIA/BLM and state/local governments
.Interagency/inter-government federal/state information exchange with DOI, BIA, BLM, EPA, USACE, USFWS, reporting requirements for water-quality, wetlands, flood management, environmental permitting, NEPA, sustainable land and natural resource management goals.
