An NLT consultant attended the May 24, 2012 Esri Business Partner Webinar, which discussed consulting-service opportunities for business partners deploying ArcGIS Online. The webinar covered the new possibilities with ArcGIS Online for reaching customers who use ArcGIS Desktop but — because of limited budget or expertise — had not used ArcGIS Server to take full advantage of sharing and web-publishing opportunities. With ArcGIS Online, most of the financial and technical hurdles of the past have been eliminated.
ArcGIS Online should also open up opportunities with new clients who have never used geographic content in their business practices before. It is now possible for companies and agencies with limited budgets and geospatial knowledge to easily create maps from an Excel spreadsheet or GPX data. ArcGIS Online also enables mobile data collection using phones and other mobile devices. Maps created on ArcGIS Online can be shared internally over the internet through a customized web page, improving and enhancing an organization's business processes.
Esri Business Partners can assess an organization's existing web presence and datasets and help determine the best use of ArcGIS Online for the client. Within ArcGIS Online there is ample room for creating a customized look and feel, determining available and default basemaps, building map galleries, creating user groups, and setting the security level for the site. ArcGIS Online specialists can also provide training and administer online accounts for customers.
