ROK's ArcGIS Server Hosting

Carey Jenkins - Thursday, June 28, 2012
Your “hands-on” private cloud: We get asked a lot of questions about our GIS operation – from What is GIS? to What are the mobile applications of GIS? The answers to most of these GIS questions can be found throughout this website – however, we wanted to draw special attention to our Cloud Hosted Mapping Solutions, and how they compare to those incorporating the Amazon EC2 service or ArcGIS Online. Put simply, we have structured our ArcGIS Server Hosting program to save you time, save you money, and free up critical resources that might otherwise get consumed trying to manage a GIS system that goes beyond what you may have bargained for.

In order to fully capitalize on the benefits of GIS, you and your organization would do well to leverage the full power and performance of the ArcGIS Server. By hosting your online GIS maps on the ArcGIS server, you provide the fullest Geographic Information Services, without having to unnecessarily overwhelm your IT infrastructure. ROK's managed ArcGIS Cloud Hosting Service offers a solution to these common GIS problems that is affordable, convenient, and back up by over forty years of combined GIS expertise and unparalleled technical support.

When you use our ArcGIS Cloud Hosting Service, we guarantee to:
-save you time by managing all the processes required to configure and maintain ArcGIS map services. You'll be free to focus on your core competencies and leave the GIS challenge to us.

Davie County, NC

Carey Jenkins - Tuesday, June 12, 2012
Client Spotlight:  After months of testing, design, and preparation, Davie County GIS is pleased to announce that the new GoMaps site is now available.  The new GoMaps has plenty of new features to  display Davie County’s GIS data.  Users will also find more tools for searching and displaying property information, so that you get the most out of your GIS operation.  The site now  includes Google Street View, layer transparency for aerial imagery, enhanced property reports, and much more.  Users can also place graphics on the map for printing.  Bookmarks allow the user  to return to a saved location at a later time.  Instructional videos are available under the help section to assist in learning these fantastic new GIS features.

“We recently completed the transition from our old GoMaps ArcIMS-based site to the new GoMaps Advanced site built on ArcGIS Server with the Flex API.  A tremendous improvement in the user experience!  ROK did a great job helping us upgrade the site and move to hosted and cached map services.  The performance and new features of GoMaps Advanced have made the change well worth the investment and the transition has been nearly effortless.  Feedback has been very positive and our users have readily made the switch to the new site.  Davie County has been a customer of ROK since 1998 and we have been very pleased with the service ROK provides.  Many thanks to Jason, Cotter, Jay and the whole team at ROK.”  John Gallimore, GIS Manager, Davie County, NC

The Parcel Fabric

Carey Jenkins - Thursday, June 07, 2012

Training in Charleston, SC: We're happy to announce that on June 12th – 14th, we will be teaming up with Panda Consulting to bring you an in-depth look at The Parcel Fabric. What is parcel fabric? How does it relate to GIS and custom mapping? How can you best implement it into your technology services? This comprehensive, three day training program will answer these questions, and cover all aspects of the Parcel Fabric, and it's applications to GIS.

Frank Conkling of Panda Consulting will provide an intensive examination of the Parcel Fabric structure, the inter-dependencies of the sub layers, how the Parcel Fabric really works, what you need to do to make the transition, and how to integrate the Parcel fabric into your daily work flow, to ensure that you are getting the most out of your GIS.

Meet us at the College of Charleston on June 12th – 14th to expand your GIS knowledge, and more fully understand the capabilities of the Parcel Fabric. For $1,200 per attendee, this three day class is a must for anyone in the GIS industry: 

The parcel fabric training that my co-workers and I received was top-notch. The instructor was very thoughtful in the way he delivered the information we needed to plan for, create, and maintain the fabric. By the end of the training I felt confident that I had learned the skills necessary to implement the parcel fabric for our County Tax Map.  I am very pleased with the whole experience and highly recommend it.

Kevin Wiles, Anderson County, SC
