Key highlights of this release include custom data feeds, service webhooks, organization webhooks interface, Map Viewer and Scene Viewer enhancements, administration enhancements, and app and server role updates.\r\n\r\nCustom data feeds allow you to create read-only feature services from any data source that are ready to be used anywhere in the ArcGIS system. The data does not need to be in a native format supported by ArcGIS clients. This data can remain in its custom format and location while being fetched by ArcGIS Enterprise. Custom data feeds open up possibilities for bringing in data that is not natively supported by ArcGIS and using it to inform decision-making.\r\n\r\nWebhooks for feature service events implement CRUD [create, read, update, and delete]operations for referenced and hosted services. Geoprocessing service webhooks are also available to provide job status on asynchronous services. These webhooks are configurable within the ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Service webhooks can help improve efficiency for your organization by providing notification when an event occurs instead of requiring regular checks for updates.\r\n\r\nOrganization webhooks can be used to track events for portal-level actions such as user-, item-, and group-related operations. Although ArcGIS Enterprise has supported organization webhooks for the last several releases, with 11.1 organizational webhooks can be configured in the ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Organization webhooks, like service webhooks, improve efficiency by providing notification when specific events occur.\r\n\r\nVisualize data in new ways with pie charts in Map Viewer and the Daylight and Weather tools in Scene Viewer. These enhancements provide additional context to your data visualizations.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about 11.1 enhancements, read the blog post \"What\u2019s New in ArcGIS Enterprise<\/a>.\"\u00a0 For a full overview of this release, read the product documentation<\/a>.\r\n

Maximize the Value of Your GIS Investment<\/h3>\r\nArcGIS Enterprise constantly evolves. New versions are regularly released. To get the full value from the product, you need to upgrade regularly to get new features, functionality, enhancements, and security updates. The product life cycle provides a window of support for each version of ArcGIS Enterprise as it moves from general availability to extended support to mature support to retirement over a predetermined period.\r\n\r\nThere are two release support categories for ArcGIS Enterprise: short term and long term. Short-term support releases receive technical support for three years and patches for 18 months. Long-term support releases receive technical support for six years and patches for four years.\r\n\r\nIt is critical to upgrade regularly so that your organization stays on a supported version of ArcGIS Enterprise. Retired versions no longer receive technical support or patches. Once your organization\u2019s current version of ArcGIS Enterprise reaches extended or mature support, you must have a clear plan for upgrading before that version is retired. For more information, refer to documentation on the product life cycle<\/a> or the technical support website<\/a> for the support status for versions of ArcGIS Enterprise.\r\n\r\nIn addition to its many improvements, ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 is a long-term support release. The 11.1 release of ArcGIS Enterprise is especially important if your organization is a utility or telecom company because it is designated as a network management release. For more information, read \u201cWhat\u2019s New with the Network Management Release Plan<\/a>.\u201d\r\n

Things to Consider before Upgrading to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1<\/h3>\r\nSubstantial changes were made to ArcGIS Enterprise with the 11.0 release in 2022.
