Prior to the move, maintaining imagery had required the most resources. "Bringing our imagery to the cloud has helped us free up time and resources so we can focus more where it matters." Staff, consultants, and the public can all easily access and use the imagery for visualization or analysis without any degradation of quality or responsiveness by simply going online, any time," said Julie Kutz, the city's senior GIS analyst.
"ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online makes managing our decades of aerial imagery easy and transparent. Now, the process of updating a few years' worth of imagery into the city map takes only a day. The shift has freed up the city's small GIS department to further innovate and analyze this data rather than spend scarce time maintaining imagery on physical servers and responding to simple data requests. To solve this challenge, Johns Creek used ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online from Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, to move all its imagery, some from nearly a century ago, into the digital cloud. Typically, it would take a few days to cache one year's worth of imagery. Before, when the city would get a new year's worth, the geographic information system (GIS) team would undergo the time-consuming task of merging the individual tiles to create a single mosaic imagery layer of the entire city.
When the city incorporated in 2006, Johns Creek began collecting aerial imagery annually. But the city's massive archive of imagery has been one of the biggest challenges in its digitization efforts. That work included training Amazon's Alexa device to answer residents' questions about city services and creating an open data portal online. REDLANDS, Calif.-( BUSINESS WIRE)-In the years before Johns Creek adopted Esri's ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online, a two-person team in the city just outside Atlanta had been innovating ways of managing its data so it was more accessible within departments and to the public.
