Esri Training Blog

In the classes I teach, learners often ask a variation on this question: “The data I work with in my job is not as good as what we work with in class. Where do I go to find good data?”

ArcGIS Pro can help us understand the world and make decisions.  With so much power just a few clicks away, new and longtime users of the software may struggle getting their projects off the ground.  This blog focuses on principles to help complete projects successfully.

Esri's newest massive open online course (MOOC), Transform AEC Projects with GIS and BIM, continues to gain in popularity with more than 13,000 AEC professionals and students already signed up for this year’s session. That number is climbing every day – and when you consider the value this course offers – it’s no surprise why.
