Until 2005 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) depended on a "thick client" approach to GIS that included ArcGIS deployed at 12 field offices with limited means for sharing information. Despite recognition by the FBI�s director of intelligence that GIS was a key technology for its work, no coordinated efforts to manage the GIS initiatives were forthcoming. That changed in 2005 with the Domain Management Initiative, iDomain. iDomain is a Web-based mapping application based on the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) Palanterra (pdf), which is a secure, common operational picture Web portal held behind the FBI�s firewall.
