<p class="MsoNormal">Hi folks, I was recently asked to provide a performance measure for the COO related to GIS across state government. It seemed to me a good performance indicator would be how many state government business processes use GIS web services.
A government business process is a bit difficult to describe in the abstract, but examples are easy to point out. For example, a business process would be identification and management of field burning, or invasive pest management, both from Department of
Agriculture. Other examples would be tracking lottery investments, tracking criminal activity, managing foster child relocations, etc.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GIS web services include Google maps, ArcGIS Online, the Oregon Address Locator Service, the Framework data services, and others like the ones here:
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/CIO/GEO/pages/geoservices.aspx">http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/CIO/GEO/pages/geoservices.aspx</a>. It would include web mapping services you’ve developed yourselves, as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have business processes that are using one or more GIS web services, please let me know what they are by
<b>April 24</b>. This is a very good opportunity to show the COO and other state leaders how GIS is making a difference in state government. Thanks! If you have questions, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></p>
