Abstract

A Case Study in Leveraging of a Small Jurisdiction ELA
Track: Implementing Enterprise GIS
Authors: Jay Thorup, Eric Schmidt

In the Spring of 2011, Douglas County, NV entered into a small jurisdiction enterprise license agreement with Esri. In the two years since, the footprint of GIS in Douglas County has grown significantly. We will discuss the breadth of county operations that now benefit daily from our implementation of the ELA. We will discuss our general public deriving benefits from GIS as never before. We will share our vision for the future as we continue to leverage our ELA and ArcGIS Online, moving Douglas County toward a more GIS-centric model of operations. With implementations of the parcel fabric, the Local Government Information Model, and ArcGIS Online well under way, we are reaping the benefits of pushing GIS technology. As more facets of our community come to rely on these technologies, our vision of evolving the Douglas County GIS Division into more than just a map shop is becoming a reality.
