Regional Geographic Information Systems (ReGIS)


ReGIS was established by a Shelby County Commission resolution in 2004 to enable efficient collection, storage and collaborative use of geospatial information, facilitate technical communication between other government and private concerns in the Mid-South, establish GIS data standards, policies and protocols and identify funding sources that could be used to share the cost of data development and maintenance.
 
Mission Statement

The mission of the ReGIS is to develop an enterprise geographic information system that will assist and promote a shared, centralized, resource for decision makers and the general public.


In pursuing its mission, ReGIS strives to:

  •  Provide near-real-time technical and mapping support to Shelby County governmental agencies.
  •  Provide user-friendly public access, protect sensitive and/or proprietary information.
  • Protect Shelby County’s investment in GIS and help agencies avoid costly duplication.
  • Develop agreements with other agencies that will utilize economies of scale to reduce GIS costs and maximize data quality for system users.
  • Provide systems for assembly and integration of spatial data such as physical, biological, economic, demographic, and cultural resources.
  • Develop data structures, standards, applications and guidelines for GIS users.
  • Assist departments and other partners to reengineer existing workflow and create a more efficient and effective operating environment.
  • Be compatible with existing GIS systems within the region.


Vision Statement


 GIS will be an easy-to-use decision-making tool available to all SCG staff enabling access to data and information, promoting innovative solutions, and improving customer service to residents.
