From page 1... ... An integrated information system provides the ability to electronically store and access the large amount of documents, drawings, reports, and project-related information, which improves overall quality and reduces the potential for duplicated effort. The benefits of an information management system include the following: • Improved on-time delivery of project real property • Expedited project award • Reduced staffing and/or improved staff efficiency • Improved scheduling • Improved access to information internally and by the public • Improved customer service and public relations • Improved documentation and reporting uniformity • Reduced time to perform tasks 1 S U M M A R Y Guide for Implementing a Geospatially Enabled Enterprise-wide Information Management System for Transportation Agency Real Estate Offices Read the entire page →
From page 2... ... If the information system is designed as a broad work environment, it should support the business needs and requirements of acquiring property and relocating people and businesses, including these activities: • Standardizing input and output • Standardizing reporting • Seamlessly exchanging information with other agency systems • Standardizing and streamlining business processes and rules with well-designed procedures and graphic user interfaces • Providing local and/or centralized performance of business activities with local and/or centralized oversight If the system is designed as an electronic ledger built on an agency-wide database, it should support the management of information required for operating the right-of-way, including the following activities: • Standardizing input and output • Standardizing reporting • Seamlessly exchanging information with other agency systems If or when the system is geospatially enabled, it should include the ability to visualize any information associated with a parcel, project, roadway, or other location-based feature to provide an intuitive and easily understood representation of that information for use in performing right-of-way activities, decision making, or resource allocation. With enhanced analysis tools, geospatial enablement can be used as a decision support tool to aid in evaluating and analyzing characteristics such as existence and mitigation of hazardous materials, early consideration of terrain complexities, potential relocation of utilities, and determination of suitability of excess property for sale or other uses.

From page 3... ... The basis for the guide and its use and the underlying precepts of the approach to the logical model are presented with reference to the NCHRP project, the Uniform Act, and the Federal Highway Administration's Project Development Guide. The implementation guide and logical model were designed with an emphasis on flexibility, given the unique nature of each state agency and the state laws that govern many of the activities undertaken by right-of-way offices as well as the varying cultures that prevail in both how business is performed and how technology is incorporated into that business.
