� j <br /> • f�;� • GIS Vision , Mission and Goals <br /> Indian River County has identified and utilized technology as a means for improving its business <br /> processes , infrastructure , services , information and decision-making . The County has recognized the <br /> value and importance of an enterprise GIS, thereby taking the necessary action to ensure that its <br /> implementation of GIS is efficient , effective, and viable . <br /> As the acquisition , management, and dissemination of information continue to become increasingly <br /> valuable functions within local governments , so too has GIS proven to be increasingly valuable. <br /> Indian River County is no exception to this observation , as it too has benefited from its preliminary <br /> implementation of GIS . GIS and GIS- based technologies have contributed to improve the County ' s <br /> business processes , infrastructure, services , information , and decision-making . <br /> Positive, yet pragmatic , vision , mission , and goals will prove to be critical as the County proceeds <br /> with its GIS implementation . The benefits of GIS , especially an optimal return on investment and <br /> improved efficiency and effectiveness , can only be realized if GIS is adopted and integrated on a <br /> countywide basis . <br /> Indian River County GIS Vision <br /> The GIS Vision of Indian River County is to manage, maintain and effectively utilize accurate, <br /> reliable , and consistent geo-spatial data .
