Field Automation Options for Local Government
One way to meet demands for providing superior service levels and operational efficiencies under tightening budget constraints is to leverage new technology that places GIS data in the hands of field crews. This allows for improved management and better maintenance of work processes to properly appraise infrastructure assets and to meet service request response times.
This workshop is designed to provide local government managers with practical guidelines for building an effective mobile GIS program across multiple departments.
Specific topics include:
- Practical guidelines for building a mobile GIS
- Business drivers for moving GIS technology and data into the field
- Alternative strategies for implementing GIS-based field solutions
- Overcoming obstacles to automating field processes
- Steps in the mobility implementation process
Intended Audience: Supervisors and managers responsible for public works operations. GIS and IT department managers interested in mobilizing user applications and Mobile GIS project managers.
