Topic: Teaching Enterprise GIS

In recent years, the required skill set for GIS professionals has expanded to include the administration of enterprise-scale systems, such as ArcGIS Enterprise, that make geospatial tools available across an organization. Students who understand the fundamentals of web services, information security, and system design are well-positioned to work with enterprise GIS systems successfully.

Helping students gain that understanding, however, is challenging. Enterprise GIS systems are highly complex, and the concepts and workflows required to manage them are significantly different from the cartography and analysis domains GIS students and instructors are most familiar with. Getting to Know ArcGIS Enterprise is a new book designed to introduce educators, students, and professionals to ArcGIS Enterprise. It includes conceptual information, concrete user story examples, and hands-on exercises for implementing, administering, using, and maintaining an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. Along with other resources like the Architecture Center, Esri Academy, and Esri Tutorials, Getting to Know ArcGIS Enterprise can help instructors provide students with the background they need to be successful amidst the changing demands of the GIS industry.
