ARCGIS ADMIN EDUCATION - GeriMiller1/ago-admin-education GitHub Wiki
A collection of best practices and approaches for administering ArcGIS in Education - contributions by Peter Knoop, University of Michigan, LSA Advocacy and Research Support, and Esri Education Outreach.
Goals:
-
Maximize access to ArcGIS
-
Minimize time and cost spent managing ArcGIS
-
Leverage the concept of Enterprise GIS
- transition from thinking of GIS as a domain-specific solution to something that everyone in your organization might use
- as such, GIS deserves professional IT management akin to other enterprise IT systems, such as email, file sharing, etc.
-
IT Knowlege
- Identity Assurance, Data Privacy and Security, Software Licensing, Integration with Business Systems
Key ideas:
-
Collaborate with IT ...leverage your colleagues expertise; users already know their username/password, and IT/HR already knows who should be authorized to access the system
-
Proactively Empower Users within Boundaries ...rather than putting the onus on them to request things, and generating a bunch of reactive work for yourself
