Author: NGIS Australia July 19, 2021 Duration: 30:03

This is the final episode of season three of Location Matters! Thank you to all of our listeners who tuned in this season to hear about the latest trends and technologies in the GIS industry. In this week's episode our podcast host and Marketing Manager, Sarah Butler co-hosts with our Marketing Coordinator Claire Wilson and Principal GIS Consultant Nicholas Chai, to discuss a game changing solution built at NGIS by our very own Senior GIS Developer, Rick Huang. 

To avoid the regular headaches of upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise, Rick developed a solution; the NGIS Upgrade Solution which minimises production downtime during an ArcGIS Enterprise update to only 40 minutes, where it would otherwise take upwards of 400 minutes. We discuss how this benefits companies in not only reducing downtime but also reducing mistakes! Tune in to learn more about this solution.
