  1. Why Some GIS Projects Fails Fifth National GIS Symposium in Saudi Arabia Abdulsalam Abdulah Abdulaal Al Khubar • Apr 25- 28, 2009 • Jamada I  12-14, 1431

  2. Table of Content Fail Definitions IT & GIS Pillars Failures Factors GIS Value Chain GIS Project Cost Allocations Spatial Data Issues Conclusion Q / A

  3. What is failure Not meeting stakeholder expectations

  4. IT & GIS Pillars

  5. Failures Factors It is been proved that IT are not an issues any more. Most of the failures caused by those three factors. Only Spatial Data will be tackled

  6. GIS Value Chain Landbase Acquisition Other Data Overlay Operation (AM / FM) Basic GIS Functions Other Data Overlays Advanced GIS Analytics Advanced GIS Analytics & Integrations Infrastructure Preparation Engineering and Maintenance Advanced Functionalities • Definition of landbase needs • Identification of purchasing sources / policy • Purchase negotiation and execution • Cross check with on-site measurements • Correction • Overlay of existing digital related data. • Scanning / digitization of existing related data • Field surveys for spatial positioning (mapping) • Update processes to ensure related data are up-to-date • Spatial data monitoring • Fault localization • Maintenance resources allocation • Workforce Management: dispatch and routing • Logistics coordination • Preventive maintenance • Modeling and simulation • Infrastructure design • Network installation management • Resources allocation • Inventory management • Customer segmentation • Traffic monitoring • Infrastructure planning using advanced algorithms • Sensitivity analysis • Signal strength readings for network optimization • Customer complaint management • Service coverage inquiry • Marketing campaign definition • Caller-ID localization for dispatch • Location based services Usually GIS Value Chain Accomplish through PM Life Cycle

  7. GIS Project Cost Allocations

  8. Spatial Data Issues

  9. 2.8 KM 0.8 KM Sample Of Data Check

  10. Typical Land base Providers and Costs Countries Provider Data Type Maintenance Fee U A E Town Planning Landbase Free Ireland Complete landbase, addressing, street indexes, landmarks, etc… < $10 / km2 Census Department Jordan External provider Landbase $70 / km2 US A USGS Census data (demographics) Tiger files (Landbase, addresses, etc…) Free Bahrain Ministry of Housing Landbase Free Qatar National GIS Center Landbase, addresses, census data (demographics) Free Egypt Utilities Data Center Landbase, Utility Networks Free KSA MOMRA Landbase Free

  11. conclusion • Unfortunately failed GIS projects are more than successful one. • PMO and project management techniques prove to add value to project success. • Spatial data ownership within organization is essential for project success. • Best spatial data providers are the designated and specialize one like MOMRA , Ordnance Survey, Local planning Offices and others. Do not attempt to generate your own spatial data. • Spatial data acquisition need a lot of cooperation & Coordination with external parties. • Successful GIS project are costly they are also an investment so try to follow cost effective partnership model with others. • Successful implementation of GIS is increasingly function of management and institutional capability rather than of technology.
