Are you ready for Enterprise GIS?

This presentation will also discuss and answer questions such as:
-What is Enterprise GIS?
-Do I need an Enterprise GIS?
-Who do I involve in designing an Enterprise GIS?
-How do I leverage support and allocate resources to building an Enterprise GIS in my organization?
This presentation will be formatted into three 10 minute segments.
