Management Considerations

Creating and Maintaining a Geoportal: Management Considerations

Operation of a Geoportal by any organization — large or small — can have a profound impact on the way geographic information is produced, managed, used, and shared by that organization. Likewise, maintenance of an operational Geoportal can have an impact on the structure and allocation of an organization's technical and personnel resources. The Creating and Maintaining a Geoportal: Management Considerations document provides guidance for matters that should be considered before, during and after your organization chooses to implement a Geoportal. The document is based on experience and feedback that ESRI's SDI Solutions team has gathered over several years of helping organizations implement successful geoportals.
