What does service oriented architecture mean for your organization?
Track: ArcGIS for Organizations
Authors: Torrin Hultgren

For several years the U.S. EPA has been implementing ArcGIS for Organizations. While shifting to software as a service (SaaS) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers tremendous benefits, we've found that it's crucial to re-examine organizational roles, responsibilities and workflows. This presentation will cover highlights from guidance documents we've authored: best practices, SOPs, and recommended workflows for publishing and documenting map services, web maps and map applications.
