Brian Cross, Esri's Professional Services Director, discusses that while the technology platform continues to advance swiftly, it's also important to focus on the development of a long-term infrastructure plan and a organizational support model. He comments that many companies are adopting a hybrid on-premise and managed services/cloud model, that migration to the cloud has many considerations, and describes the now fully released ArcGIS System Monitor to optimize your Enterprise GIS infrastructure. Brian also describes considering a different mindset for future implementation planning in order to ensure success. You must begin to think about defining specific roles and responsibilities and not trying to play all of them, all the time. Brian concludes by summarizing how to develop a Location Strategy - creating a vision, putting the organizational structure in place, addressing focused initiatives, and forming a phased plan for implementation.
