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 layers
Fast and reliable
Ability to configure and consume web services directly from third party organisations
Mobile mapping functionality to meet growing demand to allow for data capture in the field
Configurable, customisable and extendable
Ability to allow users to capture data using a web interface and configurable forms

Environmental Enforcement Team now love AGOL,
since June
100 detailed litter quantity surveys
50 detailed litter pollution surveys (round 2 now starting)
New process has enabled
them to standardise the
survey process. They also
estimate that the new
process has resulted in time
and data input savings in the
region of
80%
Following its success, staff from
Department of Environment and

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
