Requirements

Observe and define the business / user’s workflows Separate business / user workflows for each case Extend data model for streetlight equipment / repair types Define and implement data structures for work orders Network / Systems Access / User Authentication:

Secure VPN - combination of ArcGIS Server Roles with web tier authentication

Simple – Intuitive; adaption by non-GIS end users is key to success Specific controls – search, GPS, forms, app navigation

Reduce burden on back-office (don’t repeat legacy app) Web-hosted, centralized data store

BusinessRules

Streetlight ex: Relate the Work Request to the Light OID for repair history. Cover-up ex: 48 hour turnaround upon customer request
