Abstract

Extending the Reach of GIS with ArcGIS Online
Track: Online Services
Authors: Ryan Latimer, Jeremy Weber

For a long time, GIS professionals have struggled to put the value of GIS technology in the hands of casual users in a non-disruptive way. While options have existed (Web & Mobile APIs, Web Application Templates, etc.), they have proven to be somewhat difficult to implement and have created a bottleneck to widespread access to GIS. This presentation will highlight how a variety of entities (Airports, Utilities and Local Governments) are leveraging ArcGIS Online as a platform for empowerment. Enabling your average GIS professional to quickly and easily build maps (web maps) and share them with users via web apps, mobile apps and embedded maps in websites. All without writing a single line of code!
