Project Goal
The goal of the Surveys and Mapping Division Cadastral Management Information System (CMIS) Project was to modernize and strengthen the management of cadastral data through the implementation of an integrated digital information system. The project aimed to improve the storage, organization, retrieval, and updating of cadastral records, including survey plans and parcel information. It sought to enhance data accuracy, accessibility, and interoperability while reducing reliance on manual processes. Through the adoption of standardized digital workflows and centralized databases, the initiative supported more efficient land administration, improved service delivery to stakeholders, and strengthened decision-making for land management and planning. Ultimately, the project contributed to the modernization of cadastral operations and the long-term integrity of national land information resources.Business Problem Solved
The Cadastral Management Information System (CMIS) addressed the challenges associated with fragmented, manual, and paper-based management of cadastral records within the Surveys and Mapping Division. Previously, survey plans, parcel information, and related records were stored across multiple formats and locations, making retrieval time-consuming and increasing the risk of data loss, duplication, and inconsistencies. These limitations hindered efficient land administration, delayed service delivery, and reduced the ability to effectively manage and analyze cadastral information. CMIS resolved these issues by introducing a centralized digital system that improved the organization, accessibility, and accuracy of cadastral data while streamlining workflows and supporting more efficient decision-making and land management processes.
Technology Implemented
The CMIS application was implemented and deployed using Esri’s ArcGIS technology stack, which provided the geospatial framework for managing and visualizing cadastral data. The solution utilized ArcGIS Enterprise to host and manage spatial services, enabling centralized access to cadastral datasets. ArcGIS Server was used to publish geospatial services that supported the application’s mapping and data management capabilities, while ArcGIS Web AppBuilder/ArcGIS Experience Builder facilitated the development of the web-based interface for users to view, query, and manage parcel and survey information. Additionally, ArcGIS Pro supported data preparation, editing, and quality control of cadastral datasets, and ArcGIS Online/Portal for ArcGIS enabled secure user access, sharing, and collaboration across the organization. Together, these Esri technologies provided a scalable, secure, and interoperable platform for delivering the CMIS solution.
