Meeting Notes

• Enterprise Analytics team is:
  -- standing up enterprise BI capabilities for TC.
  -- pursuing a bimodal BI strategy
  -- using Microsoft BI component (e.g., Power BI)
  -- using SAP targeting 5,000 users
  -- plans to run in cloud
  -- toolkis include Python, SAS, and R
  -- visualization capabilities can come from EGIS potentially
  -- prefers to run GIS analyses within database platforms if possible
  -- needs the EGIS to integrate with BI tools implemented

• Enterprise GIS team
  -- discussed work completed to date
  -- shared plans for the future
  -- clarified project goal and objectives

• Data Governance
  -- Enterprise Analytics project will have a Data Lake and is assuming that they are custodian of TC data and the GIS should pull from the data lake instead of storing these data
  -- Enterprise Analytics sees GIS as a tool and that any data should reside with them
  -- Need to understand types of data... general data governance issues
  -- If Enterprise Analytics pursued a hybrid deployment model, how does that impact EGIS, which is 100% public cloud?

Next Steps

• Host a meeting with key technical people to start identifying data governance issues and how the EGIS and Enterprise Analytics projects will integrate together at the enterprise level.
