E-Map: Denver Water's Answer to GIS for Everyone
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: Jonathan Spitze, Brenda Reum

Denver Water developed a new GIS mapping solution using Silverlight and ArcGIS Server. This process started in 2009 and has continued to evolve even today. It began as another Waterfall project and evolved into an Agile approach. The solution extended into our work management system, mobile workforce,and customer care and billing systems. It simplified access to information as well as giving the users powerful tools such as pipe break isolation. E-Map has provided a one stop shop for access to the above listed systems. We have seen the users grow from 50 to 100s over the course of its development and the user base continues to grow. Come see how Denver Water developed requirements, worked with business stakeholders, managed the life cycle of this project, and created a critical tool for the success of Denver Water moving into the future.
