Starting from Scratch: Implementing GIS for Financial Services
Track: Business and Commercial
Authors: Grant Mullins

Regions Financial Corporation, after emerging from the financial crisis of the last few years, made a decision to invest in techology that would allow the company to make smarter decisions faster. The implementation of Enterprise GIS across the corporation was one of the initiatives chosen to make such decisions. Stakeholders were identified across the company from nearly all divisions and lines of business. A phased approach was taken, identifying projects and needs that could be completed during the implementation and that would demonstrate the value immediately. Working with Esri, Regions was able to determine the appropriate licensing structure and make use of the architecture and services knowledge available through that relationship.
