Using Tools Wisely
Invest in preparation and design Spatial data Cross-platform Internal and external uses Network requirements
Using Tools Wisely
Be prepared to stretch data Build once Use many times
Increasingly commercial off the shelf (COTS) solutions extending base technology.
Using Tools Wisely
Data partnerships and agreements Try to use the best data available. “Best”▪ Scale▪ Accuracy▪ Update frequency and maintenance
Often times, this data is local data.
Mile Markers
GIS technology and systems continue to develop.
Use location-based systems for location data.
Develop and maintain core data while use other tools in the toolbox where appropriate.
Build once, use many, especially when communicating to difference audiences.
