The Learning Process of Migrating to ArcGIS and the Geodatabase
Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Author(s): Christy Flickinger, Daniel Teaf

In 2002, Florida's Turnpike Enterprise migrated to ArcGIS and the geodatabase. Through trial and error, we developed a successful GIS structure. We learned how to create a geodatabase; create users for the geodatabase; proper backup techniques; how to create, update, and distribute metadata, and the process of managing a day-to-day geodatabase. We also learned of numerous capabilities in ArcMap that addressed several mapping issues we had while using ArcView 3.2a.
