GT Presentation
• Intro to GT• GT Governance Model• GT Issues• BGT Initiatives• GT Barriers• GT Opportunities• GT Centralization/Decentralization• ITGB Discussion Issues• Next Steps
Intro to GT
GIS/Geospatial Technologies
• Intelligent mapping – database + visualization• Think MapQuest on steroids• Multiple layers of information• Imagery and intelligent features (KOZs, Roads, Voting
location)• Information access, visualization, analysis, reporting• Data and system integration• eGov initiatives – serving public• Primary Administration Initiatives require it for:
– Homeland Security– Economic Development– Landuse
GT Governance
GT Governance Need• 20 agencies using GIS• 67 Counties, 2500+ municipalities, no cooperation• No Commonwealth Champion• Lack of agency executive education• No GIS data standards• No software interoperability• No coordination, except within some agencies• Numerous overlapping and duplicative efforts at state
and local level and in multiple state agencies• No formal data stewardship• No current statewide data assets• GT capabilities are needed by majority of agencies
GT Governance Model

GT Issues
GT Issues• People
– Staff resources stretched thin– Too many contractors– Recruitment difficult
• Data– Largest cost– No central database– Duplication of efforts– Lack needed statewide data layers – imposes risk and hampers
administration initiatives
• Technology– GIS and IT not aligned in many agencies– Training needs– Lack of standards– No Enterprise Architecture
BGT Initiatives/Issues
BGT Initiatives
• Commonwealth GT Data Standards• Commonwealth GT Strategic Plan• Commonwealth Enterprise Assets
– Imagery – USDA Partnership, PAMAP– Weather GIS – Homeland Security Funding– Enterprise Architecture Project
• Address Geocoding Server• Routing Server• Basemap Server
– Digital Elevation Model (3D modeling, flood insurance program, state water plan, homeland security, transportation, etc.)
BGT Initiatives
• Enterprise Training Program
• Software Availability Program
• Commonwealth GT Coordination– Wireless 911 – GIS acceptable uses– SHSGP/RCTTF - GIS acceptable uses– Health EMS Grants – GIS acceptable uses– PENNDOT Transportation Grants – imagery
• State GIS Data Clearinghouse
BGT Initiatives
• Commonwealth/statewide approach
• Fund with DHS grants as possible to complete important initiatives ($1.5M won, $800K new proposal)
• Agency and local government coordination – do business more efficiently and effectively, review procurements
• Support agency technical support needs
BGT Issues• New bureau• Very small staff• Very small operating budget in FY04,
stretched to the penny ($1,050,000)• Need to show local government progress• Balancing agency needs vs.
Commonwealth needs and strategy• Education on technology and capabilities
needed in all agencies and executive staff
GTAC – 2004 Approved Plan– Address Geocoding/Geolocating Server– Routing/Trip Directions Server– Citrix GIS Desktop Pilot Project/Production Platform– Browser/GIS Weather Servers for HS - $1.5M SHSP Grant– Imagery
• USDA/FSA NAIP Statewide 1m CIR Project Status ($326K)• PAMAP - $5.5M required - $1.5M promised by DCNR for Year 1 of
first 3-year cycle• PAMAP Strategic Plan – DCNR Lead/OIT assistance/approval
– Digital Elevation Model? – State GIS Data Clearinghouse (PASDA)– Data Systems Enterprise Architecture/Consulting – Data Policy/Data Security/Right to Know issues– Commonwealth Agency Training Program– Data Sharing Standards (PGDSS)– Commonwealth GT Coordination, Communications– Homeland Security/ER/Public Safety GIS
GT Barriers
Barriers
• People– Existing support staff stretched too thin– Too many contractors– Not enough training– Lack of centralized organization/coordinator in
some agencies – Lack of IT coordination in many agencies– Lack of job classification and civil service
makes external recruitment very difficult
Barriers• Data
– Largest cost item– Accurate and current statewide data layers don’t exist– All levels of governments paying for same data
collection and maintenance, wasting taxpayer dollars– Lack of state program for central procurement for the
Commonwealth– Lack of standards and strategy– Starts with imagery - PAMAP– Need to collaborate with counties and municipalities
and cost-share with federal partners
Barriers
• People– Existing support staff stretched too thin– Too many contractors– Not enough training– Lack of centralized organization/coordinator in
some agencies – Lack of IT coordination in many agencies– Lack of job classification and civil service
makes external recruitment very difficult
Barriers
• Technology– Too technology focused, not enough business focus– Not aligned with IT organizations in many cases, or
not supported enough by the agency– Not enough technology resources – HW/SW, storage– Lack of Enterprise Architecture– Technology constantly changing– Need web development skills as well as GT skills– Training needs not met
GT Opportunities
Opportunities• Change Commonwealth government operations –
agencies and local governments• Serve public better• Make available Commonwealth funding go farther –
spend once for all interests at state level, control standards, improve inter-government relations
• Homeland Security – citizens and property• Economic Development – significant opportunities once
imagery and parcels are completed• Landuse – requires imagery and intelligence to analyze
change in landscape – need to visualize and analyze zoning, growth areas, greenfields, brownfields, etc.
Options – Centralization vs. Decentralization
Today - Decentralization
• Currently have a decentralized model• BGT is reviewing operations, projects, procurements• No defined Commonwealth standards• Not asking for agency resources, no redirection of
funding• Duplicative investments and redundant costs across
agencies for HW, SW, data, application development• GIS not involved in IT• Lack of agency and executive focus• Lack of complement to complete work efficiently
Centralized Approach – Some change occurring
• Commonwealth GT Strategic Plan• GT Data Standards/Agency Data Stewards• GT Enterprise Architecture - BGT Central Data
Architecture/Repository Project (like IES – makes sense to consolidate all common agency finance and accounting data into a single system everyone uses)
• Use of HS Grant funding for enterprise projects where budget not available
• Reduce agency burdens as well as eliminate duplication and overlap
• Not able to adequately solve enterprise needs for imagery/DEM and other data priorities!!!
ITGB Discussion Issues
ITGB Discussion Issues• How can we catch up with surrounding states?• Can we address agency complement problems?• Should we build a centralized pool of additional GT staff
resources to assist agencies and support administration initiatives?
• How do we address training and technology problems and recruit knowledgeable staff?
• Should State GIS Coordinator interview and perform annual review of GIS Coordinators in other agencies like CIOs?
• We need more support for Homeland Security/Public Safety initiatives!
• We need some dedicated IT resources who understand GT and can design, build and deploy web applications
• Funding is not adequate for data requirements (#1 imagery, #2 elevation, #3 parcels, #4 roads, #5 streams, #6 buildings, #7 HS Critical Infrastructure layers)
Next Steps
Next Steps
• What do you want more background or detail on?
• Would a demonstration be useful?
• Other discussion topics?
