The GIS Consortium provides its members with an off the shelf GIS solution that is rich in content and support and is constantly evolving with new functionality.” Mark Binkerd Information Technology Manager, Village of Glen Ellyn The RC would truly struggle without GIS. We use it everyday (all day) for quick access to determine if a resident is within incorporated Glenview, if a streetlight is maintained by the Village, and if they have water and/or sewer with us. During this past snow storm, with a click of a button, we were able to determine if Glenview plows a specific street and what plow section it is. GIS recently added the sidewalk snow plowing routes which also allows us to determine if it is a public or private snow route. It has greatly improved our communication with Public Works since we can provide them with accurate requests through work orders. I would STRONGLY recommend all municipalities to join because it will enhance your customer service and day-to-day operations. Also the GIS employees have always been fantastic to work with!” Jody Ruiz Resolution Center Supervisor, Village of Glenview We have utilized GIS for many property tax analyses and no project has been too big or too small, they always understand the requested task, provide options and deliver on time!” Debi Lubbat Administrative Services Manager, Village of Glenview Previous Next © 2022 - GIS Consortium Terms and Conditions of Use Privacy Statement Disclaimer Copyrights and Trademark Citations Scroll to...
