Advantages Of Maintaining A Baseline In A C t l Offi ?Central Office?

IT staff concentrated at the central office

Corporate information originates at the central officeCorporate information originates at the central office

Central office servers benefit from a uniform backup policy, while remote offices may not

C t l ffi t h h dCentral office computers have more horsepower, and perform better for GIS work

Connections to corporate databases with user data are il bl d f ll i th t l ffiavailable and perform well in the central office
