1.Getting to Know ArcGIS Enterprise
This is high-level and selected deep dive session that will cover the ArcGIS Enterprise (AGE) Platform, the platform’s superpowers, the base deployment, best practices, tips, and tricks. Attendees will have questions answered like:

  • “What do you wish you had known when you started GIS?”
  • “Why is ArcGIS any different from other expert system we can buy?”
  • “Should I just use AGO (ArcGIS Online), AGE, or both?”
  • “What are all the different parts of the Enterprise and why would I want to install them?”
  • “What’s the big deal with the datastores?”
  • “Why would I want to install the portal?”
  • “How can I integrate ArcGIS Enterprise with other expert systems?” or “To Script or Not To Script? That is the question!”
  • “How can I get real time data without buying something extra for my AGE?” or “What the heck is a database view?”
  • “What is an API?”
  • “What are methods to keep my data synced?” “Which one is the best?”

This seminar is intended for all ArcGIS users, management, and IT Leaders looking to better understand the platform and the value it brings to their IT environments. This seminar is a high level to a practical deep dive from the fundamentals of GIS to selected advanced topics.
