Earlier this year, ESRI launched a new product called ArcGIS Platform, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering that makes it easier to integrate ESRI location services into apps, solutions, and business systems. As a GIS professional, you already realize the benefits of GIS. However, it can be a challenge when developers in your organization need location services but are not familiar with the ArcGIS system or require the additional functionality provided by it. With ArcGIS Platform, developers and IT professionals can take advantage of location services—including basemaps, routing, geocoding, data, and geoenrichment—within their development environment through an industry-standard development experience, instead of needing a stand-alone set of services. This month, the ESRI state and local government team will present the following:

• How this new product will make it easier for developers to integrate our location services into their apps and business systems
• The immediate benefits of adopting these new capabilities including easily accessible services and a metered transaction business model
• How GIS professionals can communicate the benefits and capabilities of ArcGIS Platform to the developers they work with

The webinar is March 17 at 10am. For more info and to register, click here.
