Track: Smart Communities
Authors: James Kulbacki, Alan Santos

Using simple HTML5 with open source JavaScript libraries, ArcGIS JavaScript APIs, and enterprise ArcGIS Server REST services, the LA County Assessor transformed 1970’s legacy mainframe data and related “Green Screen” user interfaces into a modern “responsive” user experience complete with enhanced search, simple navigation, translation of cryptic codes & keys, GIS and mapping capabilities, and device independence. All completed in a short time span and without any investment in new technologies.
