Hi All,
My IT department thinks the DPW GIS staff are using too much network space with our LiDAR and other large spatial datasets. Does anyone have a manager-level document that shows these datasets are the norm, and increasingly so? I'm finding some decent stuff on the internet but much is too involved, and in some cases, too old. I could synthesize what I'm finding, but I'd prefer an independent journal article or research paper to back up my case: that we are not space hogs, that the industry is rapidly changing with increasing use of large datasets, and that IT needs to adjust and serve our needs. Oh, and also that my county is behind the times and needs to catch up!
Thanks,
Laurie
