RE: Customer survey to inform the upcoming
CT Geospatial Strategic Plan
DATE: April 24, 2023
The recently formed GIS Office in CT OPM heralds a new era for GIS and geospatial technologies and we need your expertise and opinions!
The CT GIS Office located within the OPM, Data and Policy Analytics Unit (DAPA) is responsible for managing GIS data coordination and related geospatial technologies for now and the future. See
https://portal.ct.gov/datapolicy?language=en_US for more information about us and
about the statute. You can also learn more about our new geospatial data warehouse at
CT Geodata Portal.
We have created an easy-to-fill survey for you (link below) so that we can learn more about you; your GIS data and technology needs; and the GIS / geospatial communities within CT. We want to understand how our office and Agency can be
most useful and effective in an environment of rapidly changing technologies.
This project
provides us critical baseline and stakeholder information for the upcoming Geospatial Strategic Plan for CT. We need your
help and unique voice to understand more about how you use GIS and geospatial technologies. Your input will help guide our planning and investments for the next five years. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. We want your participation!
This survey will go out too many of your colleagues. Please forward to like-minded professionals. Send me an email with questions or if you wish to be interviewed for the project.

Sincerely,
Carl L. Zimmerman PhD, MLA
