Data-centric, workflow-driven processes
But, the State’s will need to deliver, scale, and shareentire solutions…
Not purely a volume problem like some cloud apps◦ GIS not like Netflix/E-Bay/Twitter, where every virtual machine can be same
◦ Almost every application is dif erent in GIS, so there is no need for linear virtualmachine scaling
Why is “GIS on the Cloud” dif erent?

Evaluate what the State GIOs do similarly with GIS.
How to achieve success
Develop a Cloud-based application catalog (AppStore) of most popular State GIS applications
Perform continuous improvement on these apps. Keep creating and improving “gold” images It’s ok to have dif erent versions for dif erent States / Depts
Perform a small, pilot projects in each department
Start small. Be successful. Grow.

Skygone has already created hundreds of application templates for many leading GIS softwareproducts.
More become available every week. Don’t see whatyou need?... Just ask!
◦ Make your Cloud vendor work with the GIS software vendorsto template their applications and provide an instantlydeployable, turnkey package to the States.
Require easy creation of new application templateswith no programming, API calls, or scripting needed.
Make your Cloud provider do the heavy-lifting for you

Reduced workload on IT staf
, Infrastructure and GIS. Supported at Infrastructure level and also GIS application level.
You get a solution partner, not just Cloud platform…

We already do it and we have common interests◦ Already provide IT, Cloud, GIS application templates, and GIS
architecture support to 6 continents.
We want States’ GIS staf s to be able to perform
their geo-jobs, not have to act as IT administrators
Why? The more geo-centric your staf is the betterthe States will operate… benefits all of us
How Can We Of er This Level Of Support?

Other Benefits to Using the Cloud for GIS
8/6/2019 WSCA Vendor Presentation - Skygone
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wsca-vendor-presentation-skygone 27/34
Skygone is GIS software vendor-neutral
We enable and encourage our customers toexplore, deploy and try all options available
The States can use this theory to optimizetheir GIS operating costs over a period of time. No need for radical migrations

Store your data in one repository…
Deploy and try dif erent applications, frommany dif erent vendors.
All about choice andoptimizing costs. Saveon software licensing,more cash elsewherefor projects, data, etc.
The True Power of Cloud…An Application Deployment Engine

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wsca-vendor-presentation-skygone 29/34
Not a 1 to 1 relationship with currenthardware infrastructure.
You’ll get more done with less… why?
If implemented properly the cloud willimprove current:
• GIS Data Workflows
• Governance, QA, and Approvals
•
Data and Application Dissemination and Sharing
Won’t Need As Much Cloud As You Think

Don’t play the “pricing break” game. Flat, competitive pricing removes complexity.
Consider structuring the contract like an EsriELA, where you have a set fee for a quota of
usage◦ That quota is monitored and re-evaluated every 3 months, 6
months, 1 year, etc.
◦ New volume pricing is set based on that new usage.
Allows direct billing to each State,Department, Organization, Etc.
Aggregate PricingYes, but…

Section of State-level Cloud Grids Then have a Shared-cost Cloud Grid
◦ Allows States to “bucket” money while staying flexible

Choose a Cloud vendor that understands GIS and the need toshare, yet still secure information
Choose a Cloud vendor that helps you achieve a solution; not just of ers a platform
Realize it takes time to perfect…◦ Strive for continuous improvement, not instant success
◦ Must identify internal “cloud evangelist/expert”; at least one per State GIO
And last, but certainly not least…
