Processing Information: Writes source code using programming languages to create a digital map-interface or standard report allowing access to business data in a spatial environment. Checks source code through test simulations to ensure application meets goals outlined in project plan.
Creates standardized processes to provide consistent output in compliance with established business procedures. Extracts data from internal sources. Creates specialized data sets reports maps graphics and other requested materials by analyzing data using GIS. Defines output parameters by loading data graphics and geography into database or system.
Analyzing Data or Information: Performs spatial analysis using appropriate GIS application tools and commands to solve business problems. Researches pre-existing data sets and data resources to gain familiarity with issues surrounding request.
Selects the appropriate data collection integration and storage methods based on project objectives and current Decisions and Solving Problems: Examines existing business processes to determine what data sets are involved how the data is obtained and stored and current business needs.
Thinking Creatively: Integrates GIS into existing agency or departmental applications to improve quality and cost effectiveness of state services. Creates GIS data applications which provide decision-making tools for complex issues such as TN Job Classification Specifications as of Junedemographics transportation and the potential impact of construction conservation initiatives and other regional Consultation and Advice to Others: Identifies requirements necessary for GIS integration through consultations with clients vendors and other application developers based on request and agency Processes Materials or Surroundings: Monitors spatial systems data structure software and applications to ensure required availability of data and systems.
Maintains GIS applications hardware and software to ensure performance needs are met. Defines the cost effectiveness compatibility of software components and application performance to determine impact of system modifications on the agency.
Monitors performance of hardware components such as plotters scanners and digitizers.
Training and Teaching Others: Trains users regarding the functionality of GIS related equipment software and custom-designed applications through individual or class instruction.
Writes instructional content and incorporates sample data sets and maps output methods and related equipment for classes on the functionality of GIS. Provides technical support to users regarding use of GIS tools through e-mail telephone or personal with Computers: Implements application by transferring it to a production environment using various media storage or network device.
Determines if system problems are related to hardware compatibility issues software errors or user operation based on the performance of GIS components.
Installs GIS software and hardware upgrades for Objects Actions and Events: Observes events out of data and Using Relevant Knowledge: Evaluates industry standards and technological advances to determine if system improvements are beneficial to the with Persons Outside Organization: Corresponds with individuals outside the organization to troubleshoot or answer questions regarding GIS with Supervisors Peers or Subordinates:
