Project Goal
Kent County’s goal is to modernize our GIS enterprise and create a system that is readily available to employees, partner agencies, and citizens. We’ve migrated from a system reliant largely on individuals working on desktops to ArcGIS for Server to improve workflow and enable more efficient data management. Our parcel layer has been migrated to parcel fabric. Parcel Fabric has given us control over our data, keeps a history of parcels and logs survey data. We are developing GIS as a hub for data management and a tool for systems integration within the County and using web services to make the data widely available.Business Problem Solved
Data in Kent County is largely managed by individual offices on disparate systems although the information is used by multiple County departments as well as outside agencies and citizens. Information of interest include, but is not limited to, property assessment, tax collection, building permits, recorded documents, sewer infrastructure, land use, environmental characteristics. Utilizing ArcGIS to integrate the data adds a depth to analysis and understanding of the information. It also offers a clear and simple way to access information and reduces redundancy in business operations.
