Supports FirstMap – Delaware’s Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS)

4. History of GIS Data Distribution
Public GIS Data Release Pilot Project
Funded by NOAA-OCRM Grant and prepared by the Delaware Coastal Management Program
3-CD release of State and County GIS data
Delaware DataMIL
Developed by the University of Delaware (RDMS) along with USGS
Pilot Project under the USGS National Map Initiative
Served Only Framework data
Delaware Geospatial Data Exchange
Developed by DE Dept. of Technology and Information (DTI)
Data Dissemination Hub for geospatial data
More than just Framework Data
Zip and Ship
Delaware DataMIL retired
Budget Cuts to DGS (managing agency)
Obsolete technology
Failing hardware

5. Evolution of FirstMap 2012 – GIS Community Need
GIS Community expressed a need for a replacement for the DataMIL
November – presented Enterprise GIS concept to the CCSPI (Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues)
Endorsed by multiple cabinet secretaries
Utilized the esri ELA to conduct an in-depth needs assessment
2013 – Needs Assessment & Design
Conducted stakeholder interviews with DNREC, DelDOT, DSHS, DTI
Identified numerous areas of redundancy with infrastructure, data storage and gaps in data availability
Esri and DTI worked together on a system design for an enterprise GIS
Kicked off a Proof of Concept
2014 – Enterprise GIS Project (FirstMap)
Successfully completed the Proof of Concept with sample data and applications
Enteprise GIS project kicked off with support of DelDOT, DNREC, DSHS Cabinet Secretaries
September – Final system go-live, re-branded as FirstMap
Consolidated multiple GIS systems into one, reducing infrastructure and software footprint
Emphasize cab secretary support

6. FirstMap Overview
