Justification for ArcInfo

MichelleLewis

Hello everyone,

I am new to GIS as is my department. We have a new project to build a records management & GIS program for law enforcement - basically a computer aided dispatching project. It will be used for the Nevada Highway Patrol and we will be bringing on more police and sheriff's offices as they are interested.

That being said, the office purchased our Arc licensing without ArcInfo. I would like to build a list of reasons to justify the purchase of Info with our next budget.

Do any of you have some good reasons/list of tools regarding Info that I could use to help build my list? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Michelle

Hey Michelle, I would suggest you contact Rebecca Harned from the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS. http://www.napsgfoundation.org/index.php

She might have some materials to give you regarding other leo agencies who have leveraged ArcINFO vs. other license levels.

This of course would have to start with functionality you need to accomplish your work tasks. A helpful reference as to what is avaliable in ArcView/Editor/Info is here:

http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/about/gis-for-me.html

In short, with ArcEditor and ArcInfo you get more functionality needed to create your own geodatabases and to do more GIS analysis.

You also should look carefully at extensions you may need as well.

It should be mentioned that there are indexpensive (and sometimes free) 3rd party extensions to ArcGIS (XTools, ET GeoWizards, etc.) that for some applications may meet your needs.

This particular forum is about command-line ArcInfo, which is a legacy software system that is licensed only with the ArcGIS ArcInfo licenses. You may want to try posting in the public safety application area forum. It's likely you'll find some good advice there:
