GAA-SC Web Mapping Survey 2014

Survey of Web Mapping

Initiatives

Why the Survey?


The GAA-SC board starting talking one day about ArcGIS Server and web applications.

• What to do? Where to start? General feeling of being stuck… Not sure which development path to take…

• Surely, the thoughts and concerns for the boards members are not isolated!

• What is everyone doing? ArcGIS Server? ArcGIS Online? Etc…

• Let’s develop a survey to see what others are currently using and what their future plans may hold.

Survey Focus


Discovering current and future initiatives for web mapping / applications, originally within the GAA-SC membership and later expanding to local government GIS decision makers across South Carolina.

• Current applications in place• What platform/API/ delivery method• ArcGIS Online: who and how are organizations

are using it? Credits? User accounts?• Specific applications or All-in-one applications• Are others unsure of the path to take?• Future plans.
