Esri Services Appointments

Get advice and feedback on your enterprise GIS architecture as you transition through the implementation life cycle. This includes system design standards and best practices, as well as addressing nonfunctional requirements such as high availability, business continuity, performance, scalability, and security. Additionally, share migration plans and solicit feedback from experienced consultants and discuss operational considerations, including system monitoring and testing.

An Esri architect will work with you to address your needs from a selected architecture topic, providing recommendations and considerations for next steps.

You may choose from the following architecture topics:

• Architecture assessment—A high-level review of your existing or planned architecture. Discuss opportunities to better meet current and future requirements.
• Migration considerations—Discuss your current deployment and explore options for a cloud or on-site new target environment.
• Maintenance and operations—Discuss and consider post-deployment best practices such as performance management, testing, and monitoring.

Prior to the appointment, we’ll ask that you provide:

• Your current or planned architecture diagram
• Your migration plans

Meet with an Esri consultant to discuss how developing and executing a geospatial strategy can help you achieve organizational business goals. Leave with a set of initial recommendations based on your current vision, goals, objectives, and use of geospatial technology.

Esri consultants will discuss your current or future geospatial strategy in the context of people, processes, and technology. A consultant will:

• Discuss business challenges, criteria for success, and future goals.
• Discuss the as-is state of your GIS program.
• Perform a high-level review of the as-is state of your GIS technology and inventory (business, data, applications, infrastructure, and people).

If your organization is introducing new workflows or planning a key GIS initiative, Esri's people-focused adoption strategy consultants can help you achieve the rate of adoption needed for maximum impact. Meet with a consultant to discuss options to deploy an adoption strategy that builds a strong foundation for sustained organizational change and innovation with ArcGIS.

Prior to the appointment, please provide an overview of your current GIS initiatives or projects.

Start creating an actionable plan to ensure that teams are prepared to deliver the results you need.

Prior to the appointment, we’ll ask that you provide:

• Your business goals and objectives
• A list of key initiatives and projects (geospatial and non-geospatial)

Meet with an expert to determine the best approach to creating solutions that meet your business and user needs and work within your organization’s technology constraints and IT policies.
