The Esri UC starts next week. We have just written two blog posts I thought might be of interest relating to ArcGIS. The first is entitled: What we learned from a failed ArcGIS Implementation - http://www.webmapsolutions.com/learned-failed-arcgis-implementation the second: Wondering what a successful ArcGIS Implementation looks like? http://www.webmapsolutions.com/wondering-successful-arcgis-implementation Some of the themes which came out of these two stories - understanding, data, trust, iterative translation of vision to GIS, custom v COTS .. Some of you may have had similar experiences --Matt ps. both articles were written to share our experiences with ArcGIS and encourage discussion *Matt Sheehan | WebMapSolutions* Mobile: 801-733-0723 | Email: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list (NEARC-L) is an unmoderated discussion list for all NEARC Users.
