Objectives: (1) Develop reporting methodology in data warehouse; (2) Improve current intranet reporting capability; (3) Add GIS capability to reporting; (4) Design and deploy extranet web-based query systems for reporting; (5) Promote VAIP both internally and externally and provide necessary training.
