November 20 marks GIS Day, a celebration of Geographic Information Systems and its role in shaping our communities. At gWorks, we take pride in the work of our GIS Technicians, who bring expertise, problem-solving, and a commitment to client success to every interaction. In honor of GIS Day, we spoke with three of our talented technicians—Jason Becker, Sean Kroencke, and Rachel Papuga—about their work and the impact of GIS on the communities we serve.
The Power of GIS in Local Communities
GIS is more than just a tool; it’s a transformative resource that enables local governments to address complex challenges and make confident decisions. From visualizing the impacts of natural disasters to simplifying property management, the power of GIS lies in its ability to turn raw data into actionable insights.
Jason Becker shared how GIS provides communities with clear visualizations of property data and asset tracking, allowing them to manage resources effectively and make informed choices. Sean Kroencke highlighted the accessibility of GIS, noting how gWorks’ tools help both citizens and government workers easily analyze property information and improve transparency. Meanwhile, Rachel Papuga underscored the importance of keeping parcel and assessment data up to date, which ensures accurate property valuations and fair taxation. Together, their work illustrates how GIS supports the foundational tasks that keep communities running smoothly.
Building Relationships with Communities
For gWorks’ GIS Technicians, the connection with local governments is more than professional—it’s personal. Sean finds motivation in building strong relationships with county staff, knowing his support directly impacts the broader community. Rachel, drawing from her experience in local government, values how gWorks lightens the workload for public servants, giving them more time to focus on other priorities. Jason treasures the down-to-earth conversations he shares with clients, often centered on common experiences and mutual understanding. These relationships are a cornerstone of the meaningful work our team does every day.
Innovating for Efficiency
A recent milestone for gWorks was the migration of client systems to AWS servers, a transition driven by our GIS team. This move has significantly improved system reliability, security, and scalability. Jason noted that while the migration was seamless for users, it brought considerable behind-the-scenes benefits, such as faster performance and better uptime. Sean added that housing servers in secure AWS data centers provides added protection against weather-related disruptions, ensuring uninterrupted service for our clients.
Supporting Clients Through Challenges
GIS is inherently complex, and our technicians thrive on solving the unique challenges that clients encounter. Rachel enjoys tackling a variety of tasks, from assisting with parcel splits to creating detailed reports. Jason emphasizes the importance of staying up-to-date on GIS advancements to ensure clients always receive the best support. Rachel echoes this sentiment, noting her dedication to following ESRI updates and exploring new tools to continuously enhance her expertise.
Why It Matters
The work of our GIS Technicians goes beyond technical expertise; it serves as a bridge between cutting-edge technology and the everyday needs of local governments. From ensuring fair property assessments to helping communities prepare for emergencies, their efforts make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
This GIS Day, we extend our gratitude to Jason, Sean, Rachel, and the entire team for their dedication to empowering communities through GIS. Their expertise and commitment remind us of the transformative power of GIS in building stronger, more connected communities.
Happy GIS Day!
