Use EcoLayers 2.0 to:

• Eliminate information chaos:

1. Consolidate old and new information: Geospatial, Excel or Access files, permitting documents, strategic  plans, watershed management plans, maps, reports, photographs,  images, field surveys and much else
2. Access and maintain information from any where: The office, the Board room or another city
3. Integrate information: From multiple projects, partners, and data bases (federal, state, local, private)
4. Share information selectively and securely: Within your organization, with external partners or the public
5. Adapt your data strategies: Respond to changing regulatory, environmental or organizational priorities without requiring major new IT investments
   

• Differentiate and build your “green” competitive advantage

• Reduce costs and expedite regulatory compliance, permitting, and environmental stewardship programs

• Develop strategies to mitigate litigation and environmental risks

• Assess the effectiveness of private or government grant programs in terms of their sustainable environmental impact, not just project-by-project budgetary compliance 

• Enhance the value of environmental assets

• Design an environmental governance structure best suited to your organization’s mission based on your criteria for accountability, transparency, budgetary control, decision-making authority, extent of collaboration, public involvement, etc.
