3. Abstract Data creator to data disseminator, and ArcIMS to ArcGIS Server Portage County is implementing a collaborative, enterprise-wide GIS that will benefit all aspects of the county government, the political sub-divisions and academic institutions within Portage County, as well as its citizens.  The county sees itself as the coordinator of GIS activities, base map provider and data disseminator.  The County has two major GIS data projects underway; the LBRS and parcel conversion. As the focus shifts from data creation projects to data dissemination, the County is also transitioning from ArcIMS to ArcGIS Server.  Herein lies the tale of that transition.

5. GIS Master Plan and Survey In September of 2006, a GIS activity and needs assessment survey was conducted. The purpose of the survey was to gather information about GIS activity and needs in Portage County. It provided valuable information on how Portage County uses, collects, and maintains GIS and geographic data. The survey results will be used to develop a GIS master plan for Portage County. Survey Results

6. LBRS (Location Based Response System) - A great decision with many applications The Location Based Response System (LBRS) is a program that establishes partnerships between State and County government for the creation of spatially accurate street centerlines with address ranges and field verified site-specific address locations. In order to prepare for and respond effectively to naturally-caused and man-made emergencies, local and state officials must have access to accurate information about the locations of people, places, and things. Locations might refer to street addresses, voter or school districts, census tracts, or geographic coordinates. No matter what the form, knowledge of locations allows us to identify where people, places, and things are. Without ready access to reliable data about geospatial data, local and state officials are compromised in their efforts to deliver emergency services, relocate displaced citizens, and provide medical aid and support to impacted areas.

7. Projects using LBRS data • Update web services with accurate address data • Accurate PSAP dispatch • Reverse 911 for EMA • Mapping for Dog Warden • Nutrition and Recreation study for Jobs and Family Services • Mapping for Board of Elections • And many more

8. Parcel Conversion Project The parcel layer is one of the most important parts of the GIS base map. It allows for faster access to information, it provides improved data analysis capabilities, and it facilitates the integration of data from multiple sources. All of this adds up to better decision making. High quality cartographic output is made possible and efficient parcel data management is made easier.

10. Keep track of your customers

11. Disclaimer • Not an ArcGIS Server Expert • Came up with this presentation because it sounded good and wanted to learn more about ArcGIS Server • Not responsible for any false statements • I learned some things, I hope you do

12. ArcGIS Server Editions and Levels • The functionality in ArcGIS Server is provided via three different editions: Basic—spatial data management only , Standard—spatial data management and visualization (2D and 3D) , and Advanced—spatial data management, visualization (2D and 3D), and spatial analysis . • Each of these three functional editions is provided at two separate levels, scaled according to capacity. These two levels are Workgroup (10 Concurrent users, 4GB data limit) and Enterprise (unlimited number of users, unlimited data). • Portage County License -ArcGIS Server is authorized at the enterprise, standard license level.

13. The ArcGIS Server Setup • Install ArcGIS Server • Run the postinstallsSOC, SOM, ArcGISWebServices accounts • Add users to the agsadmin and agsusers groups • Log off or restart the machine • Grant permissions to data directories • Connect to the GIS server • Publish services • Create web applications • Use the services and applications

18. Services

19. What is a service? A service is a representation of a GIS resource that a server is making available to other computers on a network. Types of services: Mapping, and map viewing, modeling geoprocessing, mobile GIS services, open publishing as OGC WMS, OGC WCS, and KML.

30. Customizing ArcGIS Server – 2 APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) • .NET and Visual StudioArcGIS Server Web Application Developer Framework (ADF). The Web ADF provides tools and templates for developing .NET Web applications within Microsoft Visual Studio • JavaScript Applications- free and sample code available with Mashup extensions • ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for the Google Maps API • ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for Virtual Earth • More direct method through theConnection Library • ArcObjects API • SOAP API • Server Object Extensions

31. Mobile Applications Building mobile applications If you're building applications that run on mobile devices, such as smartphones and Pocket PCs, you can use the Mobile ADF. If you're a beginner, you can use ArcGIS Server Manager to create your first mobile applications. If you want to extend these applications or create new ones, the Mobile ADF contains a set of controls and libraries that you can use within Microsoft Visual Studio

32. Where to get help for developing • ArcGIS Server Developer Help When you install the Web ADF, Developer Help is automatically installed. You can open Developer Help from the desktop or within Visual Studio. • Library reference (component help) same as above • EDN The ESRI Developer Network (EDN) Web site at http://edn.esri.com • ESRI User Forums http://support.esri.com/ • ArcGIS Server Development Blog http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/arcgisserver • ArcScripts

33. Mashups In web development, a mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool; an example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

34. Advantages with ArcGIS Server • Centralized GIS services and management reduces cost of ownership • Web application: Allows distribution of spatial data to anyone with a browser • Scalable • Improved symbology • Utilized full window, doesn’t reset when resized • ArcMap .mxd used to create map document • ArcCatalog to publish map service • Easy Out-of-the-box • Heir apparent to ArcIMS • ArcGIS Mobile - Lightweight applications that run on a variety of platforms • multiservice architecture allows you to transparently overlay map services • Support for most ESRI extensions Network Analyst • Spatial Analyst • 3D Analyst • Server Data Interoperability

35. Share your ArcGIS Server experience Anyone?

36. Don’t Make Maps, Make Websites Portage County is committed to providing it's citizens and other agencies with efficient, reliable access to public information. Disseminating geographic data via today's GIS and internet technologies is the most cost effective way to accomplish the task. Significant time and effort will be dedicated to utilizing web solutions.
