2007 ESRI User Conference • What actions are you taking as a result of what you heard at the conference? • How will what you heard at the conference affect your operations? • Are there things that you heard that you would like to see AIMS take the lead on? • What is the biggest deterrent to keeping your GIS operations successful?
2007 ESRI User Conference • What do you think the big conference topics were
Data • Does the data you’re collecting build on the framework of GIS information • Are you collaborating on the development of your data • Access to data – Must be easy and affordable to be consumable
Need more emphasis here
This is your return on investment Author Serve Use From the AIMS Strategic Plan in 2000
Plenary Session • GIS is being embedded in to an endless number of processes • We need to push our services to solve problems, create efficiences, make better decisions, etc… • Place less concern on the technical details and more on the use of data
ArcGIS Explorer • ArcWeb Services and ArcOnline Services being integrated with ArcExplorer • Likely underutilized in Johnson County • Opportunities to be used as a lightweight data viewer that offers a GUI similar to Google Earth, etc • Has capabilities for geoprocessing tasks, portal development, performance measurements, etc. • Allows you to build your own customized Google Earth with the data you administer and custom tools
Other Map Platforms • Google, Virtual Earth, Yahoo… • These are good platforms for displaying and accessing data • They have become the industry standards for usability • ESRI supporting through ArcGIS Server OGC standards (e.g. WMS) and REST API offerings • They lack the processing tools to do analysis
Desktop Internet What’s the role Desktop – editing, analysis, full-featured tools Light editing, geoprocessing, reporting, analysis tools Client Web – can click a few buttons Opportunities here for ArcGIS Explorer, Google, Virtual Earth Skill Level
ArcGIS Future Release • More functionality enhancements in service packs • 9.3 will be a performance release • EDN will get 9.3 preview • Support service being enhanced • Online bug/incident access
ArcGIS Release Cycle 9.3 9.2 Sp 2 Sp 3 Sp 1 Sp 4 2007 2008 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q2 10.0?
Enterprise GIS • ArcGIS Server getting huge interest but in ESRI’s opinion, it’s not being extensively implemented • Why not? Kind of like data, it needs to be east to use and affordable • Govs early adopters of GIS because don’t typically have to justify ROI of excessive spending
Key IT Themes • Priorities are the same in 2007 as they were 10 years ago • security, eGov, data sharing, streamlining, collaboration
Key GIS Themes in Gov • Collaboration • Consolidation • Service Oriented Architecture • Business Continuity • Portals • Performance Measurements
Hot Gov Topics • What’s In • GIS in Public Works • ArcGIS Server in Transportation • Greening • Executive Dashboard • Routing
What’s the take away • Issues aren’t rapidly changing • Technology is rapidly changing • Technology is simply a delivery mechanism, not a solution • Users don’t want to be GIS analysts • Users want the tools to make decisions
Big Buzzwords • SOA – Service Oriented Architecture • Delivery of services via the web by some standard • e.g. address web service, user authentication system • REST – Respresentational State Transfer • Mashups • API/ADF • OGC – Open GIS Consortium • Web Services • Data Fusion Centers
9.2 Conversion • Expressed our disappointment in the communication of 9.2 release changes • Expressed our need for a stable, continuous GIS platform
