After Base Deployment

Question

We've just had a consultant come in and install a Base Deployment.

What is a logical next step once the Base Deployment is complete?

I guess I'm looking for guidance on what our County should do now that we have a Base Deployment functioning and in place.

Hello,

Pretty open question.  Here are some suggestions:

1.  Keep your consultant "on the hook".

2.    Have you a deployment acceptance test plan?  If yes, follow the plan.  If no, use the ArcGIS Enterprise the way you anticipate using it to meet your operational requirements and make sure it does.  For example, I have a number of large data sets in services that I know perform poorly if the Enterprise isn't optimized for them.  I use these to test/tune my new deployments.

Good Luck!

Hi @Anonymous User,

As @Todd_Metzler said, your statement is pretty broad. Why did the County install and deploy ArcGIS Enterprise in the first place? What are the business use cases you want to accomplish?

I would test publishing some of your dataset from ArcGIS Pro to web services on ArcGIS Enterprise. After the testing, I would plan how and which datasets you'd like to share as web services. Also plan a strategy around your staff: set-up some groups and assign personnel to the appropriate roles (e.g., permissions within the Enterprise portal).

Hope this helps,
