GIS by Design!
A GIS should be designed to assist the development of technology and an enterprise-wide database, eliminating redundant data collection and storage through the implementation of proper database management principles. An enterprise-wide database will allow access to information for prompt queries, timely analysis, and use in other applications.

LEGIS – Lebanon’s Enterprise Geographic Information System is a computer-based information system that will enable the capture, storage, manipulation, analyses and display of spatially (maps) referenced and associated tabular attribute data (tables). LEGIS will enable users the ability to perform simple spatial queries along with the ability to solve complex research, planning, and management problems.

Cooperation between municipal departments, county departments, other municipalities, townships, and residents must occur for a complete, accurate, and up-to-date enterprise-wide database. Remember the purpose for cooperation is to reduce redundancy! When information becomes public, it will require the cooperation of the public to keep GIS informed of errors or changes. Everyone needs to be involved!

Technology is not here to replace employees or use up taxpayer’s monies. Technology is here as a tool for everyone to use to reduce the redundant workload and put the taxpayer’s monies to work where it can really count!

Go out and look around you!

Imagine beyond what you see!

Share the idea!

That’s GIS!
