Mobile technology is helping Hillsborough County, Florida extend its enterprise information system to the field. Historically, County crews collected asset condition and location information in the field using a cumbersome system, which functioned independently from their GIS and other in-office systems. The data collection process offered very little in the way of quality control, and was prone to errors. The system did not allow spatial edits, or provide information about existing assets. The process for integrating field data with the corporate database was tedious and time consuming. This inefficient process resulted in data that was not current or accurate. County staff needed a mobile solution to streamline the collection of stormwater asset data.
