Abstract

Locational business intelligence in the U.S. Forest Service
Track: Forestry
Authors: John Maria

Locational business intelligence is emerging in the US Forest Service. Geospatial data combine with work planning and financial data for accomplishment reporting requirements. Leadership interacts with this information through intuitive online query, display and mapping tools. This same multidimensional modeling offers opportunities to use Locational BI for land and resource management decision-making at the national scale strategic planning level and local, on-the-ground analytics.
