Mission:

To facilitate economies of scale and lower barriers to the integration of Geospatial Information Systems into teaching, research, engagement and administrative operations by supporting the geospatial computing, storage and software needs of the university and its partners. 

Vision:

The Enterprise GIS Research and Development Administration Group will achieve measurable benefits through:

1. Accelerated Research: through continuing implementation of state-of-the-art geospatial technologies and the provision of a highly accessible base map in a variety of formats
2. Enrichment of Education: through the pervasive integration of seamless mapping and visualization tools into curricula
3. Knowledge Transfer: through dissemination of research results, best practices, and rigorous analysis of geospatial data to university researchers and our partners in a visually comprehensive format
4. Streamlined Processes: by reducing spatial data duplication and increasing efficient, timely access to current maps and data for internal administrative operations
5. Enhanced Security: by creating innovative, replicable benefits for communities by utilization of the most current geospatial data, tools, and analysis available for public safety and security interests
