What is the future of GIS in Local Government? How will it respond to Local Government Agencies?
Jack: Local governments vary and they use GIS in different patterns—some have desktop, individual users, departmental, or enterprise implementations. We are responding to these usage patterns by providing templates that will promote consistent, standards-based implementations for local governments and other industries as well. GIS professionals will build and serve knowledge throughout their organizations using a server model with rich APIs like Silverlight to create a “GIS–Lite” that is free, embeddable, and can be used to mashup data within the organization. Templates will be powerful tools for GIS professionals as they will be leading this effort.
