Read how the Public Works Department of the City of Tacoma (Tacoma), Washington, uses its geospatial data to do everything from issuing building permits and managing waste water to maintaining streetlights. The city has prioritized the centralized storage, efficient maintenance, and real-time distribution of spatial data. Tacoma’s efforts have met with spectacular—and award-winning—success. Tacoma has been able to:
- Eliminate duplicate data entry from its design and GIS processes
- Collect and process spatial data more quickly
- Save time with instant access to maps
- Customize web applications quickly and easily with existing IT staff
