11. Strategic Planning Results: Refined Mission Statement Old Mission Statement The Mission of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) is to improve the quality and lower the cost of services provided by the DC Government through the effective application of geospatial technology. New Mission Statement The Mission of DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) is to improve the quality and lower the cost of services provided by the DC Government, through the District’s collective investment and effective application of geospatial data and systems. Furthermore, DC GIS will reach beyond the DC Government by continuing to make DC GIS data freely and publicly available to the fullest extent possible in consideration of privacy and security.

12. Strategic Planning Results: Goals The planning process resulted in six long-term (five- year) goals to achieve continued success and improvements, as listed below: Ensure that state and local needs are met by focusing resources on geospatial data, systems, and program activities that are in alignment with District priorities Develop and operate enterprise mapping data, geospatial applications, and Web services that enhance the utility, reduce the cost, and expand the interoperability of citywide and agency IT systems Provide outstanding customer service and training that enable DC GIS users and stakeholders to leverage the full power of GIS technology Sustain and improve GIS coordination and partnerships in the District of Columbia, the region, and the nation Be innovative and adapt to the changing market for geospatial technology Apply GIS in ways that increase revenue and reduce costs for the District

14. Business Plan

15. DC GIS Business Planning: Portfolio Mgt Applying “Portfolio Management” Projects have different life-cycles and investment strategies: Invest (build or enhance) Maintain (provide basic support) Keep status quo/minimal investment Version upgrades only No active development of new capabilities Sunset (migrate toward retirement & end-of-life) Migrate (move to – or “reinvent” on – a new platform) Divest (shut-off spending and “kill it”)

16. DC GIS Business Planning: Platforms A platform is: A base technology (or technologies) on which other technologies or processes are built A whole “economic unit” for the purposes of aggregating and assessing costs for budget purposes
