GIS Public Access <br />Using Extranet Technology <br /> <br />Cabarrus County <br />North Carolina <br /> <br />6. Worthiness of an Award <br /> <br />The implementation of GIS public access using Extranet technology <br /> <br /> Saved over $29,000.00 budgeted for GIS Public Access <br /> Produced a 75 percent drop in requests for 8 ½ by 11 parcel maps <br />· Created a service available to citizens 7 days a week, 24 hours a day <br />· Extended GIS access to all county government desktops <br /> <br />Previously parcel maps were only available Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM - <br />5:00 PM. Citizens had to travel to the governmental center to request a map. County <br />employees were forced to use their production time and workstations to fill map requests. <br />Map requests became so popular the Land Records department restricted the time of day <br />that they could accept and fill the requests. Often our citizens had to make a second trip <br />to the Governmental Center to pick up their map. <br /> <br />Using GIS public access terminals located in the Land Records citizens now create and <br />print maps any time during business hours. Extranet technology makes it possible for <br />Cabarrus County's Internet enabled citizens to access this information at their <br />convenience, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. <br /> <br />Cabarrus County is one of the first counties in the United States to offer access to its <br />parcel maps and data over the Internet using ESRI's Map Objects and Internet Map <br />Server software. The GIS staff has been contacted by more than twenty different <br />counties, agencies and businesses for information on how to set up a system like our GIS <br />public access. These requests come from North Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, <br />Florida, Georgia, and Canada. We proudly respond to each inquiry. We have proven <br />that GIS Public Access using Extranet technology is an innovative, cost effective way to <br />share information within our organization, with our citizens and beyond. <br /> <br />Debbie Brannan <br />IS Systems Manager <br />Cabarrus County, North Carolina <br />65 Church Street SE <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br />Phone 704.788.8154 <br />Fax704.788.8146 <br />Emaildabrannan~co.cabarms.nc.us <br /> <br />WWW.
