Learning Objectives:
List the costs and benefits (financial and intangible) of implementing geospatial technology for a particular application or an entire institution
Evaluate possible solutions to the major obstacles that stand in the way of a successful GIS proposal
List some of the topics that should be addressed in such a justification of geospatial technology (e.g., ROI, workflow, knowledge sharing)
Decide whether geospatial technology should be used for a particular task
Perform a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of an application
Justify feasibility recommendations to decision makers
Identify major obstacles to the success of a GIS proposal
Compare and contrast the relative merits of outsourcing the feasibility analysis and system design processes or doing them in-house
