Tracking to ensure each deed s files, indexes, and ledger entries were linked was never possible through manual records keeping. Document Preservation - With documents dating back to Florida s earliest days, containing original presidential signatures and seals, there was an obligation to preserve and protect these aging collections. Retrieval of images on a computer monitor, with computer enhancement to improve readability, will make documents available for many more generations. Field offices can search through the records without traveling to headquarters.
Legal staff can review files while others continue daily processing.
The strategic information resource management mission of the Department of Environmental Protection is to provide a technological infrastructure to support the staff engaged in protecting, conserving and managing Florida s environment and its natural and cultural resources. The goal of the Department is to implement an infrastructure to effectively collect and utilize data to assist in the decision making process and empower personnel resources at all levels of government to protect the environment. GIS - Provide easy and direct access to a full suite of GIS capabilities to every employee with such need by building a distributed GIS database, computer system, and support network. Public Access - Provide Florida citizens with accurate, convenient, an timely access to a more comprehensive spectrum of environmentally related public information through the innovative use of electronic access technologies which makes finding and receiving this information easy. At this phase of the project, the project is broken up into four major teams.
