The challenges we face today increasingly demand sharing and collaborating across boundaries, often referred to as Distributed GIS. There are a variety of technical capabilities in the ArcGIS System that support Distributed GIS, including Distributed Collaboration and Partner Collaboration. In this session, we'll explore Distributed GIS through the lens of case studies and emerging patterns, primarily through the technical capabilities that support them, but also people, process, and governance considerations that are critically important to successful Distributed GIS implementations.
