Implementing ArcGIS Routes as a Data Integration Solution, Terri Clark, San Juan County Public Works GIS

As stewards of the public road system, Public Works Departments maintain large volumes of data related to roads.  The data systems used to store, maintain and retrieve these data are as diverse as the business functions they support - from Accounting to Engineering to Road Maintenance.  This presentation will show how San Juan County Public Works implemented ArcGIS routes as an data integration solution that, essentially, gave three diverse data management systems - WinCams (cost accounting management system), MOBILITY (road inventory management system), and GIS - a common language.

Cartographic Round Table
Open to All

Something new for the NWWaGIS… This cartographic round table is intended as a chance to share your tips, tricks, favorite map or symbol set, ask questions… Beyond the list (above) who have volunteered to bring materials we’ll fit in as many as time allows. If you have something to share (1-5 min. each?), please email .ppt or other graphics to stefan ahead of time (for pre-loading onto a laptop). Informal discussion topics/questions welcome too, as are hard copy print-outs of favorite maps for display/discussion.
