JC Now - Case Study in Building an App on the Cheap
Track: Mobile and Device Apps
Authors: Nick O'Day

In April 2014, the GIS and Communications teams within the City of Johns Creek, GA began the project of building a smartphone app to deliver emergency push notifications, interactive maps, and city news to the public. By July 2014, 'JC Now' (v1.0) was completed and awarded 1st place in the Esri UC User Apps Fair - Mobile Apps category. Presentation attendees will learn how Johns Creek accomplished this in such a short timeframe, with limited budget and no smartphone app programming experience.
