2017 ICT4D Conference

In emerging trends, CRS has driven its way in developing ICT tools such as digital monitoring and evaluation of data. Through this CRS seeks to define an information architecture that lets CRS staff use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to provide mapping tools for reporting, monitoring and a wide variety of map production needs. As we seek to improve the automation and quality of mapping both for international and local level, one of our vision is to be able to produce an interactive map for the executives and others that will help us visualize the relationship of different factors and activities carried out by CRS all over the world. With the use of Salesforce, CRS keeps track of current and historical relationships between individuals and institutions, and projects it implements worldwide.

CRS currently uses a suite of products from Esri, relying most heavily on ArcGIS Online. CRS is creating an online, interactive map from datasets that resides in Salesforce in an effort to better understand and manage the information that it needs to carry out its work.
