Professional GIS Operations

Catalog description

As graduates enter the workforce with a foundational Geospatial Technology background they must also operate within a managed technical environment. GIS professionals do not just use GIS software, but also must manage the development of solutions to address requirements, and the overall systems architecture that support day to day operations. This course reviews the administration of ESRI’s ArcGIS Online Organization and provides an overview of the ESRI Enterprise GIS environment. The student is exposed to the methods for effective requirements gathering and proposal writing. The course concludes with an overview of how Python and ArcPy GIS application development can benefit GIS operations.
