Technical User Group
![Page 6: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Technical User GroupTHIS IS YOUR USER GROUP!!For anyone:
New to GISExperienced in GISInterested in finding out more about GIS
We see new users as a valuable additional resource!Improve communicationIncrease effectiveness of GIS county-wide both internally and externally by having an internal working groupIndividuals will benefit on-the-job by using GIS as a toolEncourage collaboration and partnershipsProvide a learning environment:
Hands-On TrainingProject demonstrations, presentations, etc
![Page 7: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Technical User GroupPresentations for users by usersIncrease awareness of technical and data resourcesEncourage discussionIdentify data needsForm special-interest workgroups
Example: Emergency Preparedness
![Page 8: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Technical User GroupInitially, meetings will be held on a bi-monthly basis…will adjust as neededThis is YOUR User Group!!An idea to consider:
Split this group into two subgroups: New Users Experienced Users
Meet for 1-2 hoursFirst half hour: Entire Technical User Group meets togetherSecond half hour: Subgroups meet to come up with recommendations for the entire groupThird half hour: Entire group comes together and discuss recommendations

Ramsey County GIS2 primary goals:
To create a basemap and database that was as accurate as possible To build a GIS collaboratively
![Page 12: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
It’s all about COLLABORATION!Collaborative efforts will help to ensure your successWe ALL benefit by working togetherSharing knowledge of available data and the process to obtain it is valuable to all of us
![Page 13: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CollaborationWhat you could end up looking like if you choose to do GIS on your own!!

Where we’re going…
Curt Peterson, GIS Supervisor
![Page 28: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Where we are now: Current Data Access Model
GIS users must physically move update data to their own desktops or servers
Monthly CD updatesFTP sites:
RCGISUG – Password protected Public – Anonymous login
Time consumingDanger of utilizing data that isn’t current
![Page 29: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Where We’re Going : Enterprise GISWhat is an Enterprise GIS System?
Centralized data resourceContains both graphical and tabular data
![Page 30: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061505/551b4557550346ae7a8b4c4c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why move to an Enterprise GIS System?
Provides County wide functionality. Simplifies data layer maintenance/updating Serves a wider range of county needs. More efficient data distribution Opportunity to be a direct node on the MetroGIS Data CaféOpportunity for participation among multiple departments. Promotes shared vision, collaboration and development.
