Wisconsin Forest Inventory & Reporting System (WisFIRS) is a system that will enable foresters to store data collected in the field, plan for and track completed practices (e.g. timber sales), report accomplishments, calculate the financial aspects of the programs (e.g. millions of dollars collected and dispersed to towns and counties), and tracking MFL lands open to hunting and recreation to name a few. This application manages core business functions for public and private forest management in Wisconsin, serving hundreds of DNR staff as well as our partners (county forests and cooperating (consulting) foresters). Due to the importance of knowing where on the landscape practices are being done, geographical information systems (GIS) is being integrated throughout the system. WisFIRS is being developed to encompass the business functions of 3 existing applications, which are running on old technology, which is now at risk of failing. These applications were different enough that field staff had to learn how to use each application individually, making it incredibly cumbersome and in some cases staff have to re-enter the same information up to 4 times, increasing errors in the data. The WisFIRS project is taking the time to not only re-write existing applications into new, current technology, but also re-design workflows to gain efficiencies in the field, allow for easier reporting, and increase access to the data. Three of the Division’s current systems will be redesigned and integrated as part of this effort. 1. RECON/Timber Sale - Public 2. Managed Forest Law (MFL) – Private Tax Law 3. PlanTrac – Private The three legacy systems have a considerable amount of overlapping functionality. This situation unfortunately results in unwanted duplication of effort to complete some forestry tasks, which will be resolved by WisFIRS. The new WisFIRS application is being developed using ASP.NET, Oracle, ArcGIS Server and MS SQL Reporting Services.
