About Esri Software
Getting Started with Enterprise GIS
The key to maximizing the benefits from a geographic information system is to deploy it enterprise-wide. Some good questions to start with are the following:
- Are a solid business plan and associated strategies well defined and understood?
- Is there a clear understanding of the broad user objectives driving the project?
- Are the workflow and related business processes effective and well designed?
- Are the business stakeholders engaged and supportive?
Proper planning enables success with a faster return on your investment while meeting the original business objectives and needs of your stakeholders, customers, employees, and community.
