Additional Web Based and Instructor-Led Training

• Working with Utility Networks in ArcGIS: ArcGIS Utility Network provides robust tools to model, visualize, edit, and analyze complex utility networks. This course—for GIS professionals who edit and analyze electric, gas, water, or telecommunications networks—introduces the utility network model in the enterprise geodatabase. Learn about capabilities that organizations can leverage to better manage network assets, minimize network disruptions, and quickly respond to outages. Attendees can choose to complete course exercises using water, gas, or electric utility data.
• Configuring Branch Versioning in ArcGIS: This course prepares GIS professionals and database administrators to implement branch versioning in an enterprise geodatabase using ArcGIS Pro. Learn best practices to establish branch versioning workflows that support multiuser editing and the accuracy of your authoritative geospatial data. This course is especially relevant for organizations that have deployed ArcGIS Utility Network or ArcGIS Pro Parcel Fabric.
