ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS Online Houses Online Maps and Applications (intranet and
internet) Supported by DNR ArcGIS Server infrastructure. Currently stores several light applications, both internal
and external, and some web maps. Looking to build on successes
Will serve as a good resource for staff looking to publish dynamic web maps and apps who don’t require more robust custom applications built
Looking to train a group of publishers (representatives from each division). ◦ Currently not enough staff knowledgeable in the DNR ArcGIS
Server design. Site is part of State and ESRI Enterprise License
