Reliability<\/h2>\n

ArcGIS comes with a host of features that can help your organization meet its reliability goals. In his demonstration, Chris highlighted four such features in ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes that, when implemented in your system, can make it resilient to all manners of failures and recoverable should the worst happen.<\/p>\n

Automation<\/h2>\n

ArcGIS supports a variety of approaches for automating software deployments and specific workflows. In his demonstration, Shreyas showed how to use ArcGIS Utility Network and ArcGIS Notebook in conjunction with third-party software such as ServiceNow to automate workflows and drive efficiency in modern ArcGIS systems.<\/p>\n

GeoAI<\/h2>\n

ArcGIS has been engineered to leverage AI to help organizations modernize operations to run intelligently and at scale through automated data generation and approachable spatial tools and models.<\/p>\n

One example of such a model is the new Vision Language Context-Based Classification model that’s accessible through ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. In his demonstration, Rohit showed how pretrained vision-language models can be used in scenarios such as disaster recovery where understanding and processing both image and text prompts is crucial.<\/p>\n
