Creating And Maintaining A GIS Portal, Management Considerations

ESRI has released a white paper which talks about management considerations and commitment required when thinking about implementing a GIS portal.

The principal purpose of this document is to describe the level and breadth of management commitment required to install and maintain a Web-based GIS Portal Toolkit (GPT) portal for the discovery and exchange of geospatial information.

The document focuses on ESRI’s GIS Portal Toolkit solution but like the scope mentions:

While the document identifies the management considerations and dedication of resources essential to the successful installation and ongoing operation of a geospatial information portal developed with ESRI’s GIS Portal Toolkit software in particular, findings are also applicable at a generic level to the installation and ongoing operation of any geospatial information portal.
