Building a GIS: System Architecture Design Strategies for Managers, Second Edition,
This second edition of Building a GIS has been thoroughly revised and restructured. Graphics have been updated and numerous illustrations added. Exercises and video presentations on the included DVD provide substantial supplemental information to those developing and implementing GIS architecture.
"At one time, you could simply define user requirements, select a software solution, and identify hardware and network specifications to fulfill system capacity needs," says Dave Peters, author of the book. "Today, it's much more complex. Selecting the right technology requires a more specific understanding of GIS users' needs and system infrastructure limitations. Enterprise GIS operations now support a variety of software and hardware technologies that must work together to meet performance requirements when operating at peak system capacity."
Peters is content manager and principal instructor for Esri's system architecture design strategies training, for which he develops and maintains materials for enterprise consulting services worldwide.
