Overview
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) was managing lands data by utilizing spreadsheets and documents stored in various locations with no ability to integrate with spatial data. DWR desired to create a solution that would automate the management and tracking of business processes within the Lands Program, thereby establishing and maintaining robust internal controls, audit trails, and a high level of geospatial information access for the following functions: Billing and Payment Tracking, Manage and Track Projects and Agreements throughout their lifespan, Information and Transparency, Workflow Tracking and Management, and GIS and Data Technology Integration.
Timmons Group worked with DWR to develop a web-mapping and form-based application called ULTRA (Utah Lands Tool for Resources and Assets) which serves as a portal for DWR land managers, habitat managers, and other DWR staff to create, manage, and/or track both spatial and non-spatial information associated to lands management. Users can find lands information quickly using the map explorer and navigating to the relevant land management information. In addition, ULTRA integrates with AWS Cognito to manage user access/permissions, Google Docs for ease of uploading and managing important documents, and ArcGIS Online to enable users to synchronize spatial data between ULTRA and ArcGIS Online.
The ULTRA solution provides a one-stop shop for DWR to input, review, edit, report on, and track spatial and non-spatial data associated to the lands it manages in an expedient and streamlined manner.
