Georilla - Serving Internal Customers with Webmaps

MnDOT needs quick access to information from many different data sets to support daily operations. Legacy electronic maps dedicated to one or two data sets never provided a complete picture. It was difficult to find and share spatial information in a fast-paced environment. We were challenged to think differently, to do more with less, to innovate. Georilla is our answer to this challenge, driven by an increasing need to access unique combinations of diverse data types and sources. Crafted using MapServer/GeoMoose Open Source technology, this lightweight, low-overhead web solution allows us to deliver data to the desktop in a quick and responsive way while complementing existing systems. Details of design and deployment will be discussed.
