The GeoReadiness program, led by HQ NAVFAC, and sponsored by OPNAV N46 via Commander Navy Installations Command (CNIC) was established to provide, build, sustain, and advance Navy capabilities to support its shore installation management mission. GeoReadiness combines GIS with business data, providing a powerful media for visualizing problems. Spatial business intelligence is generated when existing enterprise business systems are geographically enabled. The resulting spatial BI enhances decision-making to quickly and more accurately respond to and resolve problems, thus improving shore installation management efficiency and effectiveness. In this presentation, we will provide real world examples of how GeoReadiness is improving Navy business activities, and discuss the pioneering methods used to market geospatial capabilities, discover new use cases, and measure the Return on Location (ROL) value of geospatial capabilities in every day work. We will also present future use cases of how geospatial technologies can reap additional value from traditional business processes as visualizing location invents new methods of knowledge discovery and exploitation for decision support.

4. Navy GeoReadiness Program
Background
•
To address the geospatial needs of the Navy shore
installation management community, the Navy
created the GeoReadiness program.
•
The program, led by HQ NAVFAC was established
to maximize the use of maps, aerial
imagery and other geospatial data and
technologies to provide situational
awareness and improve time to
decision on the impact of shore
installation activities, incidents and
investments.

45. Summary
One Navy Geospatial Enterprise System
•
When GIS use spans across Navy region
boundaries and business lines it helps users
discover common business objectives, and
eliminate duplicate efforts
•
Leveraging common geospatial data standards and
metadata across the Navy enterprise enables
interoperability, and promotes efficiencies
© 2013 Critigen

46. Summary
Transforming COI Capabilities Through Geo-Enablement
•
Location data transforms Navy business processes
by inventing new capabilities, increasing
efficiencies, and creating smarter processes
•
Tying the same geospatial information to many
Navy business processes multiplies the value of
location with no new data creation, and no new
systems required
