Free Online Seminar For Mobile GIS

Recently we have been getting many users asking the question on how to go about determining which mobile solution fits for their organisation? There are a number of mobile solutions available and it can hard to figure out which one to use and or which suits the best. To help with this, ESRI will be running a free online seminar focused on answering this question.

To help users evaluate ESRI’s mobile geographic information system (GIS) solutions, the company is conducting a free live training seminar this month that will demonstrate the technology’s versatility and power. Introduction to ESRI Mobile GIS Solutions will air at www.esri.com/lts on Thursday, November 19, at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m., Pacific standard time.

Mobile GIS is currently used by government, utility companies, public safety agencies, and commercial organizations to streamline business processes and collect up-to-date information about assets, infrastructure, and conditions in the field.

This seminar will explain the use of mobile GIS technology within an organisations workflow and provide methods to determine the correct product for a company’s needs and expectations. Some of the solutions that will be demonstrated include:

• ArcPad and its extensive set of mapping tools for field data collection, inspections, and GPS integration
