The eight needs and problem areas of GIS listed by those with prior experience
with GIS were:
• Accessing readily available technical assistance for ArcView users
• Maintaining up-to-date parcel maps
• Obtaining the appropriate level of quality information relating to
GIS
• Getting high resolution of ortho[graphic] maps
• There is a lack of standardization in addressing which prevents the
merging of address databases
• It is difficult working in Indiana counties on the state border because
not all of the same data is available in the counties of neighboring
states
• Demystify GIS so it can be adopted more quickly
• Minimize duplication of work by improving coordination
