Web & Mobile GIS for Adding Efficiencies to Water Utilities
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: Kevin Stewart, Sean Forrester

The County's Department of Water Resources (DWR) implemented a Flex framework for its internal web viewer. This web application enabled DWR to reduce their desktop footprint by over 100 licenses and offer a more intuitive solution to its current read-only users. For mobile, DWR was using a laptop-based solution in the field to support their field crews, but the application was disconnected from the network and was rarely synchronized to get the latest data. DWR recognized the need to provide up-to-date and reliable information to its field crews in a timely manner. Esri's ArcGIS for Windows Mobile technology helped facilitate this process and streamlined data management to ensure all field crews were up to date on a daily basis. This presentation will focus on the efficiency gains Esri's ArcGIS for Server and ArcGIS for Windows Mobile can deliver to a water utility.
