Managing GIS implementation for an enterprise such as a county, city government, or state agency is a daunting and expensive proposition, because it involves large budgets and aggressive schedules. It also involves developing and executing an implementation plan based on a logical ordering of activities, and determination of realistic schedules and budgets. For new organizations just starting out in GIS, that do not yet have knowledgeable staff with experience in purchasing hardware, software, and data from vendors, there is a risk in purchasing unnecessary products or not being able to evaluate whether products or services are delivered per contract specifications. We can lessen risks by serving the role of project manager during the initial GIS implementation, until your organization can recruit and train a GIS Manager.
