Where do you work and what is your role?
Hi, I'm Thiru (aka Thirumurugan, if you want a long, Tamil name!), currently working as a GIS Consultant contracting for a local government authority in sunny Queensland, Australia. My current role involves publishing web services and administering ArcSDE to deliver optimal performance to Staff and Public.
What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use?
My big success so far this year has been migrating our weed mapping staff to use AGOL on iPads so they can finish their mapping workflow digitally. Last year, they have been meddling with paper maps, notepads and calling / traveling to Office to check maps on the Desktop. Many more teams lined up to convert their workflows using AGOL and ArcGIS Desktop :-)
What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?
My expertise is Writing to reach masses through blog posts. I guess I would be sharing my tips and tricks with you all (and expect to learn from your posts too!).
