ArcGIS Server UofM Map Server

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
