0:13 Howdy. You've completed a lot of work so far,

0:16 so why wouldn't you want to share it?

0:18 We've seen how easy it is to combine together BIM, CAD, and GIS data

0:21 to create rich, interactive maps for your projects.

0:24 So why not share those with your project stakeholders?

0:27 There's no need to wait until your infrastructure project is being built

0:30 or operated to integrate GIS to gain efficiency.

0:34 Sharing data early on during the planning and design phases is

0:37 the first step to integrating location into your design.

0:40 During the planning and design phase, share site alternatives and design

0:44 decisions using a secure web map to give project stakeholders

0:47 an intuitive way to make decisions.

0:50 This kind of access to data drives business with

0:52 smart decisions and accelerated projects.

0:55 During the design phase, engineers can use the Autodesk integrations

0:59 to easily access the most up-to-date information to generate

1:02 existing conditions for their project site, easily connect to information

1:06 about the natural environment, like floodplains and soil types,

1:10 but also bringing information about the built environment,

1:12 like where are street center lines and parcel boundaries.

1:16 Having access to this information allows these designers to design

1:19 more efficiently and more sustainably.

1:23 When a vertical or horizontal asset is being built, ArcGIS puts data in

1:27 the hands of mobile workers, providing a way to collaborate

1:29 and connect between the office and the field.

1:32 Workers on-site can use tablets and smartphones to gain insight

1:35 into a project and collect data with photos at centimeter accuracy.

1:39 Mapping your assets during this construction phase can give you

1:42 valuable data that can contribute to your digital deliverables.

1:45 When a bridge or a building is completed,

1:47 the owner doesn't just want the physical asset.

1:49 They also want the digital version for them to use often in the form of

1:52 GIS data for the operations and maintenance of that asset.

1:57 All the data that was gathered, shared, and updated during

2:00 the previous phases can contribute to the digital twin that the owner

2:04 needs to operate and maintain that asset.

2:06 This creates additional value for your client.

2:09 You can use that data for facility management and space planning

2:12 of your building or inspections and maintenance of your utility.

2:16 So far, we've seen ways that AEC firms can improve

2:19 their projects by sharing data internally.

2:21 But what about externally?

2:23 ArcGIS provides a way for you to collaborate with project stakeholders

2:27 to provide them dashboards on project progress.

2:31 Using ArcGIS, you can collaborate with many project stakeholders

2:35 to improve communication and provide easy access to

2:39 digital deliverables and project dashboards.

2:42 Instead of sharing a bunch of disparate files,

2:44 organize these deliverables into a hub or a story map.

2:48 ArcGIS Hub and ArcGIS StoryMaps can be used to gather together many

2:52 different maps, apps, and layers to clearly communicate

2:55 your project's goals and its progress.

2:57 You've put in a lot of work in designing these assets

3:00 and maintaining these as built, so why not keep them

3:03 up to date with Esri apps?

3:06 You can turn your web map into any number of

3:08 different applications for your project team and your clients.

3:11 Turning a web map into an app creates

3:14 a focused experience for your users.

3:17 No matter if it's a field collection app for a mobile device,

3:20 a laptop imagery viewer, or product information in a story map,

3:23 ArcGIS gives you the tools to design the experience

3:27 your users need to complete the project.

3:30 Let's look at how we can share our web map

3:32 in many different ways to many different types of users.

3:37 After you've combined all your data together into a web map,

3:40 you can turn it into many different types of applications for your project.

3:45 Not everyone has experience using GIS,

3:47 so you can use built-in tools to share your web map

3:50 in ways that can easily be used and understood.

3:53 After you've combined all your project data, the map view in ArcGIS
Online

3:57 makes it easy to create apps in just a few clicks.

4:01 From the Contents toolbar on the left, click the button to create an app.

4:05 This brings up four popular options to extend the functionality

4:09 of your web map by turning it into an app using Instant Apps,

4:12 Experience Builder, StoryMaps, or Dashboards.

4:16 Map Viewer is full-featured with lots of options for

4:19 changing the appearance of your web map.

4:21 It can be overwhelming to a new user, which is why Esri

4:24 created ArcGIS Instant Apps to allow you to quickly transform

4:28 your map into an intuitive experience they can interact with.

4:32 Within five minutes, you can select a template,

4:35 choose configuration options, and share a web map that

4:39 addresses your project needs.

4:42 What's nice is the mobile-first design and no-code templates

4:45 to present photos, videos, and PDFs.

4:48 These are included in your license.

4:50 To help your project team make decisions, you can turn your web map

4:53 into a dashboard powered by location-based analytics.

4:57 Operational dashboards can help staff understand projects, issues,

5:01 or assets by monitoring their status in real time.

5:05 Intuitive data visualizations using lists, charts, and gauges help summarize

5:11 the data in the map to help your team make decisions

5:13 about workload, materials, and project schedules.

5:17 Adapt dashboards to specific audiences, events, and situations,

5:22 such as a strategic dashboard to help executives

5:24 track key performance indicators.

5:28 With multiple structure and design options,

5:30 configuration is streamlined and straightforward.

5:33 When it comes to sharing, nothing beats ArcGIS StoryMaps.

5:36 Transform your digital project deliverables by combining them

5:40 with text, photos, and videos to create an interactive narrative

5:44 that's easy to publish and share.

5:47 ArcGIS StoryMaps can be a product homepage

5:50 for your clients and the public to learn about

5:52 your project and its impact on their community.

5:55 Incorporate external content and surveys

5:58 to gain feedback and collaborate on your projects.

6:02 For larger projects, consider using ArcGIS Hub to create

6:06 a full project website with embedded maps and dashboards.

6:09 Esri even provides templates for you to use to organize

6:12 and share your project deliverables.

6:14 To create a truly custom web application, look no further

6:17 than ArcGIS Experience Builder.

6:20 Quickly transform your data into compelling web maps

6:23 without writing a single line of code.

6:25 Build mapcentric or non-mapcentric apps and display them on a fixed

6:30 or scrolling screen on single or multiple pages.

6:34 Perform a drag-and-drop operation to choose the tools

6:37 you need from a rich set of widgets.

6:39 Design your own templates and interact with

6:41 your 2D and 3D content all within one app.

6:44 With ArcGIS Experience Builder, your web app looks great

6:47 and runs seamlessly on mobile devices.

6:50 You've done what it takes to combine together BIM,

6:53 CAD, and GIS data for your project site.

6:55 Now, enjoy the benefits of sharing it with your project team.

6:59 Throughout the project life cycle, ArcGIS improves your team's efficiency

7:03 by giving them easy access to data

7:05 and improves designs by giving you context of on-site conditions.

7:09 At the same time, your customers enjoy increased collaboration

7:12 and modern digital deliverables.
