July 26, 2007 By News Report

URISA's 2007 Exemplary Systems in Government (ESIG) Awards recognize exceptional achievements in the application of information technology that have improved the delivery and quality of government services. Almost 25 applications were received for this year's competition.

Single Process Systems

Prince William County, Va. - Prince William County Parcel Maintenance Process was developed by the Prince William County Office of Information Technology Geographic Information Systems Division to replace an existing inefficient coverage and AML-based system. The new process uses leading edge GIS (ArcGIS 9) and database (Oracle 10g) technologies to improve the overall data schema and increase the data user base and potential uses. This exemplary system provides for centralized data storage, improved editing and processing tools, improved and more reliable data, and has increased productivity by over 50 percent.
