Track: Implementing Enterprise GIS
Authors: Tim Walden

In 2011, the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada went through the process of developing a Corporate GIS Strategy in order to improve and expand upon the services that GIS could provide. The resulting recommendations were based around the creation of a centralized Corporate GIS Team within the Information Technology Services department. This presentation will describe the complications created from the non-centralized environment, the process to develop the corporate strategy and the resulting recommendations and environment.
