ArcGIS Server is the latest in web mapping technology from ESRI. As many organizations are preparing to take the plunge and deploy applications on this platform, GISi will present several examples of current implementations with ArcGIS Server. The discussion will offer a description of the problems for each case and the reason ArcGIS Server was chosen as the solution; representing clients in both the federal and local government sectors.

ESRI User Conference presentations DVD available via Cooperative web site soon.
