City and County amalgamated in June 2014

In 2013 we identified the need for a unified web based GIS

Our general requirements were:Intuitive and easy to use interface with logical access to map layersFast and reliableAbility to configure and consume web services directly from third party organisationsMobile mapping functionality to meet growing demand to allow for data capture in the fieldConfigurable, customisable and extendableAbility to allow users to capture data using a web interface and configurable forms

Some background


From April 2014 – December 2014 we built and deployed our internal portal, using ArcGIS Server and FlexViewer


In 2015 we went public50+ Secure and Unsecured* Map Services

*We had to learn about AD security pretty quickly

Really enjoyed seeing, hearing and being inspired by the great man

Saw and discussed how organisations from around Europe and the US are using and applying GI

Heard first hand why and how I should be using Portal

Saw and discovered excellent applications of AGOL (some of which I will be copying)

Learnt that what looks like grated parmesan, on an Austrian buffet table, is actually horseradish

Learnt what is planned for the future of ArcGIS . This along with 20+ scribbled ideas is helping me plan 2016

Learnt that Rosita’s story map was truly a worthy overall winner

Decided that I will bring my family to Salzburg for a holiday, it really is a great place full of lovely people

Decided that in 2016 I will start to create apps from my Story Maps
