Evolving model

The GIS Consortium is providing new opportunities in GIS and other technologies.  This model has evolved from a staffing concept to a recognized leader in local government technologies.  Today this group is utilizing shared standards, developing joint applications, procuring common products, and providing training across organizations.  It has become a new benchmark for local government technology solutions.

The GIS Consortium provides an alternative at a time when communities are increasingly required to do more with less.  The success of this organization is based on the vision of its founders as well as the devotion and business values of its members.

Perhaps the most impressive accomplishment of the GIS Consortium's tenure is its growing relevance.  The GIS Consortium was laying the groundwork for an effective regional organizational and technological model before many communities had recognized the importance of regional information systems.

Adopted by the founding members in 1999, this framework continues to provide new and existing members with the resources to be successful.  The GIS Consortium is particularly proud of its members and their commitment to this model.  The organization has never lost a member, and its influence in the area has grown significantly.  In a time where challenges are becoming increasingly complex, the GIS Consortium provides a viable solution to local government.
