  1. MOBILE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS • MOBILE DATA COLLECTION DEVICES • INTEGRATED DATA WAREHOUSE(S) • SUMMIT VISION & OBJECTIVES • TOMMIE L. PARHAM (NCGC) • May 25-27, 2004

  2. Summit Background • This is part of the National Information Technology Project Coordination Committee (NITPCC) • Each Year the PCC review and made recommendations to NRCS Leadership • all IT Line Items • 15 to 45 millions - requests • Effort - Supported by each Deputy Chief • Sponsored by Mary Thomas and Wayne Maresch – Chaired by Dennis Lytle and Tommie Parham With members from each deputy chair area

  3. Summit Background • Each Deputy Chief Business Area held Visioning Sessions (May 18-20, 2004) • This summit is part of the Visioning Sessions • What: “A Suite of Assessment Tools” • What: “Integrated Data Warehouse Development, Migration and Implementation Strategies” • What: Narrative Describing vision, business drivers and a chartered direction • Who: You

  4. Mobile Service Delivery Objectives • Improve the quality of products delivered and customer decisions by enabling the employee to have all the tools, data and guides available in the field. • Reduce the number of trips to the customer’s locations, number of customer trips to the agency office and the number of meetings with customers.

  5. Mobile Service Delivery Objectives • Improve the efficiency of resource data inventory and assessment • Improve the efficiency of program delivery by reducing employee workload and enabling the agency to serve more customers • Enable faster customer service and allow employees to spend more time with the customer in the field rather than in the office at the computer. • Allow for data mining

  6. Business Drivers • Farm Bill • USDA Food and Agriculture Policy, Sep. 2001 • E-Government • Geospatial One-Stop • OMB - Capital Asset Plan. Federal Enterprise Architecture • Homeland Security

  7. Business Direction • Enabling Conservation • Self-Servicing • Technical Service Providers • Mobile Delivery of Services • On-line Resources in the Field • Tablet Computer to Eliminate Data Entry Duplication • Leveraging Government Partnerships • Improved Technology Transfer (ARS) • Streamlined Workflows (FSA) • Accountability Leadership (USDA) • Coordinated Data Delivery (USFS, USGS, EPA, etc) • Leveraging External Partnerships • Data Delivery Consortiums with Industry • Community College Kiosks and Training Centers

  8. Business Direction • Capturing and Mining the Institutional Knowledge of NRCS • Common Resource Areas and Conservation System Guides • On-Line Soil Surveys • Smartech • Natural Resource Data Marts and Interpretation Rules • Multi-Dimensional Conservation Planning • 2D, 3D, or 4D erosion analysis • Multi-Objective resource analysis • Conservation Practice Physical Effects (CPPE) • Custom models for analysis of multiple resource concerns

  9. Mobile Resource Inventory and Assessment Tools Integration Range Woodland Soil Survey Core Functionality Cultural Resources Plants Agronomic Engineering Wetlands

  10. Integration of Data in Data Warehouse Range Woodland Soil Survey Core Functionality Cultural Resources Plants Agronomic Engineering Wetlands

  11. Like any good tool box, the NRCS “tool box” needs an assortment of tools. GPS Tools Configuration 1 & 2 NRCS Data Collection Tools Digital Camera / Mobile Devices Information Tools Desktop Computing / Servers Communication Tools Internet / Mobile phones

  12. Mobile Field Worker Front Office Integrated Data Collection Tools Back Office Integrated Data Warehouse Tablet, GPS Data Collection Tools and Data

  13. THE NEW ENVIRONMENT--in light of the dynamic (changing) environment we live in: •   NRCS re-organization above state offices •   Geospatial Data Warehouse •   Soil Data Warehouse •   NRI and Soil Data Marts •   Coordinated Data Delivery Strategy •   Migration of “Gateway” to Web Farm •   Need for a Raster Gateway or Equivalent

  14. Remote sensing laboratories • National Technology Service Centers • NCGC post–A-76 •   Database migration •   High-resolution imagery •   GPS and data collection devices in every • state •   OCIO I.T. conversion •   Our agency continuing need for • geo-sciences technology & training

  15. NIT PCC PROCESS STEPS • Communication to State Conservationists/my.nrcs Email to STC, Div. Directors, Deputy Chiefs/Leadership • Application Deployment Schedule • IT Application Development Process • Big Picture – National Roll-up of Application System • High Points for Each (Future, Overall Information) • Coordinated/Integration • Application Deployment Schedule • IT Application Development Process

  16. Summit Outcomes • Each Deputy Chief Business Area held Visioning Sessions (May 18-20, 2004) • This summit is part of the Visioning Sessions • What: “A Suite of Assessment Tools” • What: “Integrated Data Warehouse Development, Migration and Implementation Strategies” • What: Narrative Describing vision, business drivers and a chartered direction • Who: You

  17. Visioning Outcomes • DM&E Line Item for Integrated Mobile Resource Inventory and Assessment Tool Suite with amounts out through FY 07 • DM&E Line Item for Integrated Data Warehouse Development, Migration, Implementation with amounts though FY 07 • Narrative Describing vision, business drivers and a chartered direction.

  18. Future Vision In the future, an NRCS employee will be in the field with a suite of integrated tools and data on a tablet computer with a wireless connection to a GPS, data and other information. The employee will begin an inventory and the system would pre-populate the electronic "form" with the information for that site/area such as location, soils, vegetation, elevation, landform, remote sensing analysis...data they had loaded from the warehouse. They would complete the inventory or assessment and upload the data to the warehouse. A field conservationist would use some of the same inventory and warehouse functionality along with Toolkit for planning. NRCS is bringing experts in each field together to outline the requirements for integration of mobile data collection with the Data Warehouses.

  19. My Challenge to You • DARE – TO DREAM THIS WEEK ABOUT WHAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE • TABLETS? LAPTOPS WITH DESKTOP CAPABILITIES & FUNCTIONALITY • CHALLENGE THE TECHNOLOGY & ARCHITECTURE • WIRELESS – WITH FULL FUNCTIONALITY • GPS TECHNOLOGY IMBEDDED IN EVERY AGENCY TOOL • TRANSPARENT RASTER DATA DELIVERY • TRANSPARENT VECTOR DATA DELIVERY • INTEGRATED WAREHOUSE(S) • DATA MINING TOOLS • ONE - TO MANY RELATIONSHIPS • “CAPTURE INFORMATION ONCE – USE MANY TIMES” • MOBILE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS THAT MADE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE

  20. THE END
