Authors: Mark McCart

Iowa DOT has a goal to make as much GIS data as possible available to the public. This led to new REST Services, 240 in total, being stood up without much thought into managing them all. This project led to reducing the number of services, improving performance and documenting them all to help with change management. This presentation will cover the inventory process including how information was gathered, how a database was set up and how it help with change management to REST Services.
