The document discusses the implementation of a GIS-based work order management system to improve facility operations for a Midwest contract operations firm. The upgrade aims to address the limitations of the existing outdated system and manage critical information related to plant operations more effectively. Key features of the application include asset mapping, work order tracking, and administrative functions, all while utilizing JavaScript for future mobile support.

14. Challenges/Lessons Learned
 Don’t use ArcGIS OBJECTID to link
between spatial and nonspatial data
 Balancing ASPX and JavaScript API
 ArcGIS API for JavaScript can be fiddly
