Title: Leveraging GIS to Support Asset Management Operations
Day/Time: Tuesday, 8/16 | 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Description: Geographic Information Systems are increasingly being utilized to help communities locate and catalog assets. Asset location and description are valuable on their own, but modest enhancements to the data organization and collection workflow can optimize a GIS mapping effort to support Asset Management operations. This session will cover concepts essential to GIS mapping, data management, and asset management. Additionally, examples of the flexible and analytical GIS applications designed for enhancing asset management operations and strategies will be demonstrated.
