Background – GIS in OregonBackground – GIS in Oregon
The GIS office is located within the Information Resources Management Division of the Dept. of Administrative Services• The program is operated by one coordinator and
three technical staff• 03-05 program budget: $1,483,367
The GIS office operates under Executive Order 00-02 • Coordinate the GIS activities of all levels of
government in Oregon

What is GIS?What is GIS?
GIS combines maps and data
GIS is a data analysis tool
GIS data comes from any level of government
The power of GIS data comes from sharing

Why is GIS Needed?Why is GIS Needed?
GIS gives decision-makers the power to –• Make informed decisions
• Understand complex relationships and trends
• Make plans for the future based on accurate information
• Present data in a clear, compelling way
7
Why Share Data? Who Cares?Why Share Data? Who Cares?
Government is facing serious challenges at all levels. GIS can be a powerful tool against an avalanche of social problems. Are we willing to risk the consequences of not providing and sharing needed data?
GIS data can be applied to:
• Reducing Crime• Enhancing Public Safety• Protecting the Environment• Managing Growth• Economic Development• Fund Allocation• Citizen Access to Public Data
8
Results of Phase I –
Laying the Groundwork
9
Results of Phase IResults of Phase I
Accomplishments:• Established statewide rules for sharing data• Agreed upon the technology and data needed for Phase II• Partial development of data in the following areas:
Tax Lots Roads and AddressesRivers and Streams Administrative Boundaries
Geology & Soils Aerial PhotographyElevations Survey Control
We’re proud of these accomplishments because they represent collaboration across many jurisdictions,
but there is much more that needs to be done!

10
Results of Phase IResults of Phase I
Phase I was all about policies, standards, and the rules for sharing data
Phase II is about creating data, creating capabilities, and creating access
The work accomplished in Phase I was necessary, but is not finished
Data is not complete, readily available or shared; availability is random across the state
The groundwork has been laid to proceed to Phase II.Phase II is all about data and creating capabilities.

Phase II –
Providing Capabilities

What capabilities are needed? What data is required? Where does the data come from? Why do we need to do Phase II?

Phase II – Providing CapabilitiesPhase II – Providing Capabilities
Examples of Needed Capabilities• Getting an ambulance to the correct address every time
• Keeping foster children in the same school when guardian changes are made
• Identifying buildable sites for industry
• Eliminating salmon migration barriers Capabilities Require Data
• More data – data incomplete across the state
• Accurate data – some existing data is not maintained
• Accessible data – connect people with the right information

Why Do We Need to Do Phase II?Why Do We Need to Do Phase II?
Citizens living in the area of the Sheldon Ridge fire were fortunate in that GIS data was available to assist firefighting efforts
Because of GIS data sharing, lives were saved; millions of dollars of property damage avoided
If this fire happened 25 miles to the east, the outcome could have been
much different, because complete GIS data did not exist in the next county

21
RecapRecap
GIS data comes from a variety of sources The groundwork has been laid for coordination, data
development, and data sharing The Sheldon Ridge Fire example can be applied to
other areas where GIS data is needed, such as education, delivery of human services, managing natural resources, and disaster recovery coordination
Capabilities are needed for the public good and efficient coordination of government services
Data sharing is the key to GIS capabilitiesData sharing is the key to GIS capabilities

Governance• GIS can learn from the data center consolidation (CNIC) governance model
– Executive leadership is essential to success– Business needs must drive technology– Success is possible with an appropriate governance model
• GIS data sharing is much more complex than CNIC• The existing Oregon Geographic Information Council has served a vital role in coordination, policy and standards• A new style of governance is needed for Phase II to
– Break through silos– Address funding issues– Solve data sharing problems
Difficulties to OvercomeDifficulties to Overcome
Governance will ensure needed capabilities are produced
Governance will ensure needed capabilities are produced
25
None of the difficulties of moving from Phase I to Phase II are related to technology• GIS technology is readily available in today’s market
Substantial amounts of money are being spent on GIS in Oregon today We cannot move forward unless we change from the current de-centralized environment to
an enterprise approach Data must be shared for government to be efficient and effective; there are consequences to
not moving forward
Difficulties to OvercomeDifficulties to Overcome

Action Plan for Phase II –Implementation
27
Action Plan for Phase II - ImplementationAction Plan for Phase II - Implementation Business Case
• We are building a formal business case to justify aggressive development of GIS capabilities; the report will be available in the April/May timeframe
• An implementation plan will accompany the business case; it will outline how we will attack problems and change to a new business model for Oregon GIS
GIS Utility – creating capabilities• If a compelling business case exists, the GIS Utility will be fully
developed and exploited– A GIS Utility is a collection of geographic databases– This is the tool for providing GIS capabilities
Technology and training will be part of the implementation plan
Statewide government data sharing agreements will be finalized
28
Leadership• Who leads in a de-centralized environment?
Funding• Where does the money come from when each agency
manages a budget to do its own work?
Control• Turf battles
ConclusionConclusion
These are the things standing between us and a GIS Utility; between you and capabilities
