ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Implementation & Best Practices
Track: Best Practices
Authors: Kristin Hart

Understanding spatial relationships is crucial to informed decision making. Interactive GIS viewers provide a platform to spatially enable non-GIS savvy decision makers. The implementation of such tools is equally important as its availability. Establishing data management standards and providing training on the data model and software interface are among the necessary measures for successful implementation of a GIS viewer software to foster spatially informed decision making by non-GIS users.
