[gis_info] Stratus and ESRI ArcGIS Server grant - 10/27

[Rob McDougald]

ESRI and Stratus Technologies Announce Call for Demonstration Projects
for ArcGIS Server Technology-Based Initiatives

Applications will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time), October
27, 2006.

The ESRI and Stratus Technologies software, hardware, and training
grants totaling $814,000 will be awarded to 10 state or local
governments within the United States. The ESRI and Stratus Technologies
ArcGIS Server Demonstration Project Grant Program is open to all
disciplines preparing to develop geographic information system (GIS)
data, applications, and/or analytics to move their organizations forward
via the next generation of server-based GIS. This program represents a
means of providing governments with the foundational tools required to
migrate their GIS program to a server-based architecture and is designed
for those willing to openly share the source code for the application
they develop with their peers.

The goal of this program is to foster and support innovative approaches
to solving government problems through the combined use of GIS and
server technology. Projects must demonstrate GIS as a mission-critical
technology in delivering government services. The program's focus is to
emphasize the integration of sophisticated GIS functionality and
information technology strategies to supply services and access to
established databases.

To meet the goals of the ArcGIS Server Demonstration Project Grant
Program, applicants must confirm the availability of framework
databases. This program is not designed as a means of initiating a GIS
program but rather for established GIS programs.

Eligibility

The program is open to all forms of state and local governments in the
United States as well as all departments within a government
organization. Examples of agencies that are eligible for the ESRI and
Stratus Technologies ArcGIS Server Demonstration Project Grant Program
include state government agencies, regional governments, special
districts, county governments, city governments, and townships.
