Arkansas One Call GIS Department
In the beginning...
The Arkansas One Call GIS department started eight years ago with Christine Crawford, GIS Manager, and Diane Hargrove, GIS Tech. They have transistioned AOC from using paper maps to complete locate requests to having digital maps available to the CSRs to complete the locate with callers on the line.
Now Christine and Diane work year round updating the land base data for the entire state and all 700+ members of AOC. As new roads are being built all the time and member utilities are adding to their facilities all the time, this is a full time job.
One of the benefits from having a dedicated GIS department is the ability to offer GIS based services to our members. Currently, AOC members are able to view their database against our land base data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This enables AOC members to make sure that they are covered as they need to be, as our land base data is GPS accurate. In the future, AOC members will be able to make corrections to their database online. Check back often to see when this functionality is available.
In the future, the GIS department hopes to be able to offer mapping services to it's members and the public, such as paper to digital print conversions, Geo-referencing existing digital prints/maps to GPS accurate landbase, and much more. As these services are available we'll let you know.
2007 Database Verification
The 2007 AOC Database Verification has begun. This year, any member with an Internet connection can view their database online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can even submit your database verification form online. No more waiting for CD’s or DVD’s in the mail or wasting money printing paper maps. Just simply go online, view your database, fill out the form, and your done!
All you have to do is register to use the Member Service Area Mapping Utility and you’re ready to go. Once you’re registered, log in to the tool and look over your database. As you view your database, if you notice an area that needs changes, simply print that area out, make the necessary changes and mail them back to us. Also, if you have the ability to scan at your office, you can scan your changes in and email the scanned image to us. Unfortunately, due to the image quality of faxes, we cannot accept faxed maps. In the future, you will be able to make your changes online, instead of having to print the maps out and mail the changes in.
As in the past, your verification must be submitted or returned to Arkansas One Call no later than January 1st. Any members that have not submitted their verification will be considered accurate as shown in our system.
If you have special needs in regards to your database verification or have any questions, please contact the GIS Manager, Christine Crawford at (501) 328-2540 or via email.
