4 Patterns & Practices Solution Architects Amplify customer success by offering strategic guidance, communicating best practices, and aligning technology with business needs. Business First!

5 What if? Business First!

6 Best Practices Patterns and practices for overcoming business challenges People Process Technology Amplify customer success with a business first approach

7 Best Practice: Manage Identities Uniquely and securely describe user access to maps, apps, data, and analysis Configure in the portal Users Roles Privileges Incorporate in your apps Built-in Security -OR- Third Party Identity Management Identity enables participation!

8 Best Practice: Essential Patterns of a Location Strategy Common geospatial functions that re-occur across business models and environments Essential Patterns Pattern Gap Analysis The patterns are a framework for driving value

9 Best Practice: Workforce Development Equip people with knowledge and experience Workforce Development should not be considered a cost, but rather an investment! Achieve greater value and a faster return on investment from ArcGIS

10 Best Practice: Apply IT Governance Governance focused specifically on IT systems, their performance, and risk management Control change & manage risk

11 Best Practice: Application Implementation Strategies Minimize cost and maximize development resources Configure First Extend Existing Apps & Templates Use the ArcGIS Web APIs and SDKs Configure first for the lowest cost and least effort Deviations from core increase risk!

12 Best Practice: Project Prioritization Maximize success by balancing business benefits with challenges Drive value from technology investments

13 Best Practice: Enterprise Integration: Application Patterns Patterns for integrating disparate information systems Seek to achieve the greatest impact from available capabilities

14 Best Practice: Automation The process of scripting defined, often repetitive workflows Efficiency Consistency Productivity Automate deployment & operations

15 Best Practice: Security Securing the ArcGIS platform should be addressed early in the design process as techniques and approaches may vary depending upon business needs and environment Authentication/Authorization Filtering Encryption Logging/Auditing Leverage the organization s existing security framework!

16 Best Practice: ArcGIS Portal Implementation Considerations The portal enables distributed GIS Security Built-in Enterprise Make it a destination Deployment Options In your infrastructure (ArcGIS Enterprise) Software as a Service (ArcGIS Online) Portal Portal Abstracts and Organizes Any Data Type Consider the business purpose, security needs, and available deployment patterns to achieve the best results

17 Best Practice: Environment Isolation Separate and distinct compute environments Production: an operational, real-time compute environment Staging: a separate, mirrored, pre-production environment Development: a limited scale environment sufficient for primary code and data modeling Reduce risk and protect operational systems from unintentional changes and negative business impacts

18 Best Practice: High Availability A design approach that targets a prearranged level of operational performance during a period of time Improve service delivery Reduce risks Availability (%) Downtime per year Downtime per week days 8.4 hours days 1.68 hours hours 10.1 minutes minutes 1.01 minutes minutes 6.05 seconds What is the acceptable downtime for your business workflows?

19 Best Practice: Workload Separation Separate technology deployments by solution pattern Improve service delivery Reduce risks Minimize system resource contention Typically SLAs determine which server deployments need to be separated.

20 Best Practice: Load Balancing Distributing workloads across multiple compute resources Balance system utilization Reduce risks Simplify service delivery & growth (single access point) Secures backend servers Implement in pairs for high availability.

21 Best Practice: Publication Strategy Geospatial Content Delivery Publication is the act of delivering content (data, services, and applications) to appropriate consumers Performance Reliability Security Example: ArcGIS Online helps decouple contending usage patterns

22 Best Practice: Real-time GIS Strategy Display, analysis, and dissemination of streaming location data and attributes from sensors, devices, and social media feeds Ingest Analyze & Filter Disseminate Attributes from fixed sensors (Electric Meters) Locations from moving assets (Police Cars) Create alerts when moving assets cross a predefined boundary

23 Infrastructure GIS infrastructure is a core technology implementation deployed on a set of standard IT infrastructure components SDKs/APIs Data Management Analysis Visualization Data and Storage The hardware, software, services, and data repositories that are the foundation of the ArcGIS platform
