Authors: Brian Wells, Andrew Smart

Philadelphia’s OEM sought to enhance operations through GIS and real-time data. The team built a cloud-hosted ArcGIS enterprise system that offers custom mobile applications to coordinate staff deployments, a customized WAB widget for managing events, and a situational awareness portal that provides real-time information 24/7. OEM used the system to secure operations for the 2016 DNC. Attendees will learn how the ArcGIS platform can improve safety and response in their own cities.
