Seminole County makes available focused applications targeting one group or tackling one problem at a time. Mosquito Control targets neighborhoods for Zika, the Sheriff can see prohibited residences of offenders. What do these have in common? GIS taps into external databases converting them into locational information and the results are achieved by writing simple models, converting them to script, and sharing the results as web maps. These apps are providing savings in both time and money.
