GIS was used to implement data collection strategies for 47 of the 65 US nuclear sites decennial ETE updates. Management of data has grown from storing data in shapefiles to using organized geodatabases to maintain consistency through each site. The use of low budget techniques such as scripting, map templates, data driven pages and modeling increased production and workflow exponentially. An effective solution for managing data doesn’t necessarily mean spending a lot.
