Local Government
Before Darren arrived at the site, he knew exactly which trees he needed to prune, and was able to plan his equipment and resources accordingly.
The mission of local government is to look after the environment, essential local infrastructure and people. With the functions of local government all based around location, such as parks maintenance, having access to this location-based information is essential.
Location intelligence enables councils to model, analyse and manage resources, relationships, business processes, assets, patterns and risks. These capabilities allow councils to make the most of their information by analysing disparate data, developing plans, measuring impacts, and ultimately, managing all the requirements of local government.
Through its integration of both location-based and textual data, GIS is the perfect platform for the integration of business processes of multiple departments, activities and disciplines within local government.
Just like Darren, you too can have access to all the information you need with ESRI Australia's location intelligence solutions.

Asset Management
Key benefits
By integrating location intelligence with asset management, councils can streamline work flows, operations, and planning with ease.
Using a GIS, all sections of local government can share and easily access geographic data, resulting in improved data integrity, better communication and more informed decision making throughout the organisation. Service to ratepayers is enhanced, business systems and databases are integrated (including CAD data), response times are quicker, and data accuracy and accessibility is greatly improved.
