  3. Preparation • Our major products/services which will be affected by the new datums: • Esri ArcGIS software stack • Geodetic code base • Our preparations to date include: • Building dynamic datum functionality • Time-based datum – or reference frame – transformations (15-parameter Helment) • Point trajectory models

  4. Advantages / Challenges • We are excited because...Expected advantages of the new datums for your organization, its products, or services • Modernize our geodetic models and tools • Awareness and importance of geodesy to GIS • Work collaboratively with NGS • Improved responsiveness by NGS • We are concerned because...Expected challenges of the new datums for your organization, its products, or services • Demand for user education • Dearth of effective educational materials • Misuse of dynamic datum tools • NGS response to industry solutions

  5.
