AAPA Awards Port of Los Angeles on Information Technology

AAPAThe Port of Los Angeles has been announced as a AAPA 2010 Information Technology Award winner for Port Operations and Management Systems for its “Enterprise Geographic Information System Project”

With 1,000 employees organized into 26 organizational divisions performing different operations over a 7,500+ acre area, the Port of Los Angeles needed a common operating picture to provide a central store of current, accurate, reliable, secure and accessible geographic data to support its activities. A creative solution was found in the port’s Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) project, integrating legacy and modern systems, static and dynamic data, and multiple platforms that consolidates multiple divisional efforts and overcomes significant organizational challenges. The $1.9 million project has gained a high level of acceptance from all port divisions, stimulating new and creative ideas for additional GIS uses and information sharing.
