OEI embraced the new ArcGIS
Track: Water Resources
Authors: Ignaas Bisdom

As the first waterboard in The Netherlands we're developing a new GIS information system. OEI is based on the new ArcGIS and uses software components that fits the best to the user requirements. That means that only the GIS professional needs a full ArcGIS for Desktop client. For other users, we apply the App and WebMap pattern in software components as ArcGIS Runtime and ArcGIS Online templates. The waterboard information can be used everywhere and on every device! It has been using in the field for inspecting roads, watercourses and dikes. The information from the field is real time available in the office. On board level they have been using the ArcGIS iPad App for decision making. Our communications department has been very progressive in the use of social media and ArcGIS online. OEI opens up completely new forms of information dissemination and collaboration in our organization and between organizations.
