Abstract

A New Approach to GIS at the NZ Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)
Track: National Government
Authors: Alana Corney, Andre Post

The Geospatial Management team have been undertaking a program to lift geospatial capability at MPI. The ‘Geospatial Program’ comprises multiple projects that will enable non-technical staff in GIS including installing platform technology and developing a ‘GIS Portal’ of interactive maps for staff. We will discuss the reasons why change was needed, how those changes have been implemented and the approach taken - using ‘Portal for ArcGIS’ for publishing geospatial data for consumption by staff.
