A major component of the County's Enterprise GIS is the central ArcSDE geodatabase which supports desktop GIS users and web based applications. The County's GIS Department develops web based intranet applications to distribute GIS data to County employees via web browsers to increase users access to updated GIS data. By delivering data in this format it saves the County money and increases access to the data.
