Scott County Geographic Information System
Scott County is currently implementing the intial phases of the Scott County GIS Strategic Plan.
County departments are faced with manual, antiquated processes, redundant, independent workflow, and multiple systems that are not synchronized. Not only are there increasing public requests for this data, but there is a growing expectation that we have it. By direction of the Scott County Board of Supervisors, a GIS Steering Committee was formed with representatives from multiple departments to seek a County-wide or “Enterprise-wide” GIS solution.
Geo Analytics, Inc., (http://www.geoanalytics.com) of Madison Wisconsin was selected to assist the County with a GIS Strategic Plan. Our first phase was a comprehensive situation assessment. We started with on-site interviews with county departments and other agencies that would be involved with the GIS. We held a GIS Kick-off meeting in July with over eighty attendees from the area.

The following phase was the Conceptual System Design Phase. This document will outline the governance and operational design, process design, organizational design, data design, technology design, application design. As you can see "design" is a major component of this phase.
The next phase, and final step for our strategic planning process was the Strategic and Tactical Implementation Design. This plan was written by GeoAnalytics with input and direction from the GIS Steering Committee and based on interviews and feedback from the previous phases. The plan was presented to the GIS Steering Committee, the Scott County Board of Supervisors, and the public. We hope that our GIS implementation, outlined by the plan, will start as soon as possible.
