Fast-Track Projects with a Geographic Approach to Permitting
Monday, August 18, 2025: 8:30 AM - 9:20 AM
Speaker(s)
Description
The surge of infrastructure projects across the nation has created pressure on public organizations to streamline the permitting process. Failure to respond to this urgency will separate those organizations that are prepared to maintain and improve the quality of life for their communities and those that are not. As public organizations compete for community investment opportunities, residents and businesses expect them to have the technology and processes to support efficient, equitable, and sustainable development.
Permitting is a process based on location, and a Geographic Information System (GIS) is the mission-critical, enterprise IT business system designed to power better and more efficient location-based, data-driven decision making. A GIS-centric permitting system is the best way to streamline your permitting process.
Understand how your peers are following best practices and leaving their manual, paper-based, siloed, and inefficient permitting processes behind by implementing a geographic approach to permitting and realizing significant business value. These examples include integration with asset lifecycle management systems that provides additional benefits beyond permitting. Digital, authoritative, location-based project data now flows seamlessly from the design to the build, operate, and maintain processes encompassing permitting, licensing, inspections, maintenance, right-of-way, and asset management.
