Webinars
ArcGIS for Developers: Choosing the Right Approach
April 20, 1 – 2 pm (ET)
Cost-effectively delivering the best experience and functionality for the audience of their app is an important goal for GIS developers and their managers. This webinar will help developers and managers level up their knowledge of ArcGIS SDKs and APIs. We’ll compare native versus web strategies, look at what ArcGIS capabilities are offered, identify which SDKs offer cross-platform development and provide some clarity on licensing scenarios.
Enterprise Asset Management – Establishing a System of Record
April 27, 1 – 2 pm (ET)
An enterprise asset management (EAM) system is made up of three core components: a system of record, a system of insight and a system of engagement. This webinar will focus on establishing the foundation for EAM – a system of record. Such a system requires a process to collect, inspect and maintain assets in a repeatable format. To support a system of record, a data governance model is required to facilitate the movement of data in and out of the office and between departments. This creates efficiencies throughout the organization.
Visualizing Your Presentations with Esri Story Maps
May 25, 1 – 2 pm (ET)
Move over slideshows, Esri Story Maps are the new way of presenting. This session will introduce the world of story maps and how they can be used as an alternative presentation medium. We will demonstrate how to configure your existing presentations into a story map. For organizations that also require Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliance, we will showcase how to make your presentations accessible for everyone. You will learn best practices to ensure you create a captivating presentation, and we’ll also review some presentations created with story maps.
