Introduction of GIS - A Strategic Decision Dr.-Ing. Franz Steidler born & partner AG Information technology for people Langhagweg 6 CH 8600 Dübendorf, Zürich, Switzerland ISPRS-Congress Vienna 1996, IUSM session GIS/LIS Invited paper KEY WORDS: GIS, strategy, requirements, work processes, objectives ABSTRACT The introduction of a Geographic Information System requires various aspects of consideration. Although in many cases technical criteria may be fulfilled, GIS projects fail because their objectives had not been clearly defined or were non-existent. GIS is generally a decision making tool. Various forms of information are coupled together for the purpose of providing a wide range of efficient analyses. To make a GIS introduction a success, the goals of the organisation must be analysed. From these results, the objectives of all concerned departmental levels are derived. This process leads to the requirements of the system to be introduced. Furthermore the business and work processes must be analysed as they relate to the GIS application. This process requires a broad acceptance by all end users and top management. This acceptance is the most important precondition for a successful project. This paper will discuss the combination of strategic and technical aspects for the successful introduction of a Geographic Information System. KURZFASSUNG Die Einführung eines Geografischen Informationssystems hat nach unterschiedlichen Gesichtspunkten zu erfolgen. Obwohl vielfach technische Kriterien erfüllt werden, scheitern GIS Projekte, da ihre Ziele nicht klar definiert wurden oder gar nicht existieren. GIS ist ein Werkzeug zur Entscheidungsfindung. Unterschiedliche Arten von Informationen werden für weitreichende und umfassende Analysen zusammengefaßt. Um eine GIS Einführung erfolgreich durchzuführen, müssen die Ziele der Organisation analysiert werden. Aus diesen werden die Ziele der untergeordneten Bereiche abgeleitet, woraus auf die Anforderungen an das GIS geschlossen wird. Darüber hinaus müssen Geschäfts- und Arbeitsprozesse mit ihrem rüumlichen Bezug in die Evaluation mit einbezogen werden. Dies erfordert eine Akzeptanz auf breiter Ebene vom Endanwender bis zum Top-Management. Diese Akzeptanz ist die wichtigste Voraussetzung für den Erfolg. Im folgenden wird die Kombination strategischer und technischer Aspekte für eine erfolgreiche GIS-Einführung besprochen. availability of relational data base management systems has 1. INTRODUCTION played an immense role. Now in the information technology age, the possibilities of GIS are immensely expanding due to the accessibility of various diversified data sources found in many distributed locations. This has resulted in transforming a GIS from a documentation tool into a decision making tool. The management of medium and larger size organisations are able to use GIS for monitoring and advancing their strategic and organisational objectives. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been commercially availably since the early eighties. They originated as systems primarily used for the documentation and cartographic representation of spatially related information especially related to surveying, cadastral and utility applications. The decision to introduce a GIS in an organisation was founded by the demand for the automation of manual workflows. The initiative was taken by EDP departments which were capable of handling large software systems. Still many GIS projects fail. Very often the involved people do not really understand why. In most cases it was mistakably believed , that it was the fault of the software manufacturer for not providing the necessary tools. The truth is they fail because of many reasons. These reasons are not necessarily on the side of the software vendor. This paper discusses these reasons and shows ways to overcome problems. Once a GIS was introduced to application departments, the initiative was transferred to people which possessed a wide knowledge in the usage of GIS. This was supported by great improvements in hardware and software technology where the 80 International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6.
