The conversion will allow greater flexibility with regards to user access and data updates. The application permitted creation and display of charts, graphics, and report tables. All resulting tabular data queries and spatial data are maintained on the client side in an ArcView compatible format.

Prior to development of the remote access information system, significant effort was needed to locate, reproduce and distribute documents and data to parties needing various types of information during the course of the project.
