GIS Data Editing Strategies

Primary GIS Architectural GoalsPrioritize & Balance

• Functionality• Performance• Security• Governance

- Policy- Standards- COTS

- Versions

Make it WorkMake it FasterMake it SecureMake it Compliant

With each option consider: Three Components, Two NetworksAsk three key questions

Where is…?1. The User2. The GIS App3. The GIS Data

Editing with ArcGIS Pro

• Projects: Local Data Sets• Enterprise Geodatabase

- Simple Features Only

• Portal Data• Feature Services

• Disconnected Editing (Sync)- Runtime Geodatabase

New!

Designed to easily interface with ArcGIS Online and Portal

ArcGIS Pro

Distributed Editing Workflows

• US Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative• Moved databases away from editing workstations• Performance issues due to network latency• Editing Workstation and the geodatabase must be on the same LAN

• Only two options:1. Centralize the Desktop – close to the geodatabase

- Citrix XenApp- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

2. Distribute the geodatabase- Geodatabase Replication- Must be a DBMS- GeoData Sync
