About Workshop Presenters:

  1. BasicGov is pleased to showcase our newly released BasicGov ESRI-GIS Connector product at GIS Day in the City of Irvine. The BasicGov ESRI-GIS Connector is a powerful set of tools that offers a wide range of practical business applications for government, and facilitates bi-directional data synchronization between two industry leading technologies - the ESRI ArcGIS solution and the Salesforce Force.com platform. BasicGov will provide a product overview featuring:

    -          Evolution of our MapViewer application - from simple display of spatial information to a fully functioning interface for field users; and, 
    -          How we leverage ESRI layers and widgets, and Salesforce data views to create a comprehensive interactive map interface.

    BasicGov offers a comprehensive COTS solution to address government needs for licensing, permitting, inspections, code enforcement, and land use management.  It is the only comprehensive solution on the Salesforce Force.com platform offering governments the ability to automate and streamline operations, cut costs, meet the ever-changing demand for citizen services and evolve into a more open, transparent and collaborative organization.
     

  2. Esri will present the most recent solutions and trends in GIS for Smart Communities. These new patterns focus on the use of GIS for citizen engagement, and specific initiatives that span multiple departments and even communities. Specific solutions and patterns to be shown will include:
    -          Smart Community initiative templates like Vision Zero, Homelessness, Traffic and more 
    -          Executive apps for city managers and mayors’ office staff
    -          Next generation open data platform
    -          Integration of popular public platforms like Waze with GIS
