Miami-Dade County Parks system is the third largest and most diverse urban park system in the nation. It includes over 270 parks comprising of about 13,800+ acres. Every year County parks have more than 25 million residents. Miami-Dade County’s Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS) Department is responsible for maintaining over ten thousand signs located within park territories. They include traffic, informational, directional, rule, and marquee and entrance signs.Miami-Dade County’s Information Technology Department (ITD) in conjunction with PROS instituted a complete suite of mobile and desktop GIS solutions for the signage inventory collection, verification of existing signs and their synchronization with Infor Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS). These solutions replaced a heavily manual and resource intensive process, automated paper intensive workflows and introduced innovative technologies such as real-time field collection and ""live"" dashboards.
