Project Goal
Build a true enterprise GIS solution; something that empowers staff in every city line of business, citizens, academics, and regional community. Through a project-by-project approach GIS staff apply GIS technology to streamline lines of business. Each solution must empower users within that business line, be sustainable, and in some way serve to empower other lines of business.Business Problem Solved
Silos of both information and processes existed across the City. As such communication and efficiency suffered as our community transitioned from a small to medium city. A common language everyone could understand and work within was needed. GIS was the language/technology/solution we saw unifying our organization.
Technology Implemented
As a realized, core, enterprise solution, a wide swath of esri technologies support Auburn’s success. ArcGIS Portal often represents the center. ArcGIS Online, Hub, Dashboards, Storymaps, WebApp Builder, Business Analyst and custom JavaScript solutions serve a wide audience of users, internally and externally. Survey123, Field Maps, ArcGIS Pro, Drone2Map, and numerous integrations with other core business systems feed knowledge into the solution. Those integrations with financial systems, work order and permitting, public safety and 911, SCADA, MS Project Server, SharePoint, document management, 311, AVL, and many other systems exponentially enrich each other because of and through spatial data.
