Software Solutions

There have been great software advances in the past couple of years that benefit cities and towns of Fillmore’s size. In the past a small community would have to purchase the GIS software as well as a computer that was up to date enough to load the software. Then there would be yearly software service fees and annual upgrades. We have learned from past experience that many city employees would get overwhelmed by the sophisticated GIS software and not do anything with it. Recently a city manager told me that he has not even opened the GIS software for over 3 years, and a  city recorder told us that they need GIS but there is no way they can afford to hire someone who is educated and trained in GIS. This seems to be a common tragic GIS end for many communities in our country. We understand how complicated the software can be, but on the other hand we know how beneficial to a city that an up and running GIS is as well. With all this in mind, WebTech GIS  has come up with a solution to this problem – The Internet.
