Contributing Factors
Staff time spent creating basic maps.• Not a good use of talents.• Last minute requests.
Reduced staffing. User intimidation. Cartographic skills are rare. Map requests are often repeated.
Contributing Factors Cont…
Create a more consistent look. Expand the use of GIS without the associated
software & training costs.
Three-year Strategic Plan“Geo-reporting Wizard” – Query based
IndyProjects Bulletin Board – For Citizens
Initial Plan
Two separate applications….
1. Subscription service• Maps published by GIS Staff
2. Map Wizard• Replacement for ArcView3.x wizard
very popular with users.
Convened focus groups of users from various areas.
And Then…….
Adjusted our Plans!
