Regional Training
Monday, June 02, 2008 4:20 PM

Our training team has become overtaxed of late given the significant amount of things our clients want to learn! This is great from the perspective that our clients are looking to become self-enabled (we do every thing we can to make our users self-sufficient); bad when you consider the amount of travel and overhead this involves as we try to manage our growth...

Heading Home
Sunday, May 11, 2008 12:30 AM

I'm sitting at Heathrow right now waiting for a connection after spending a week in the United Arab Emirates. I was at GISWORX (which is GISTEC's annual user conference). I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and was happy to have GISTEC programmers there when the Q&A session at the end of my presentation on our ArcGIS Server-generation solutions got... Read More...

Stepping Back and Looking Back
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 11:15 AM

Steady, gradual change is easy to underestimate when you're up close to something. While working on my GISWORX (Dubai) keynote for next week, I opened a few of my 2003-2004 PowerPoint presentations that examine the significance/future of web-based GIS technology on society and decision-making. Despite the fact that I don't feel like the fundamentals change... Read More...

2008 IMF/Geocortex User Conference wraps (mostly)
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 5:28 PM

It sure has been a busy few days. Although there are all-day technical workshops happening today and tomorrow, the main sessions of our 3rd annual user conference are now over. Based on initial feedback from staff and attendees (we haven't read all the evaluation forms yet), I'd say it was another successful event. The weather held out, and except for... Read More...

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
Thursday, April 10, 2008 1:56 PM

I've always been fascinated by the Hollywood game "the six degrees of Kevin Bacon" . Its a pop-culture version of the well known "six degrees of separation" idea - we're all seperated from anyone on the planet by, at most, six people. Except, in the "Kevin Bacon" version, you interconnect Hollywood stars via Kevin Bacon.... Read More...

Back from the ESRI Business Partner Conference
Friday, March 21, 2008 10:52 AM

Most of us have trickled back after spending a several days at the ESRI Business Partner Conference/Developer Summit in Palm Springs. We had six people down there for the Business Partner Conference portion, and it was a great, productive trip with some exciting developments and decisions that we’ll be sharing in the weeks and months to come. With ArcGIS Server... Read More...

Fun Stuff at the IMF/Geocortex User Conference
Thursday, February 21, 2008 2:37 PM

The conference is happening in April, and we’re trying to come up with some unique and/or new things for delegates to do when they’re not nerding out at the IMF/Geocortex User Conference . Whale watching is always popular, but lots of people have already gone out in previous years. In addition, we’re thinking perhaps adding one or more of the following: trip... Read More...

Geocortex IMF 5.2 Webinars
Wednesday, November 07, 2007 7:57 PM

Geocortex IMF 5.2 is now shipping, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. While the demo site is there to explore , we figured we’d organize some guided tours so people can just kick back and get a thorough overview of the new features and capabilities. You’ll just phone in, click on a link, and enjoy the show (there’ll be Q&A time at the end).... Read More...

CRD Natural Areas Atlas
Tuesday, October 09, 2007 10:05 AM

Congratulations to the Capital Regional District on the Award of Excellence they recently received at ESRI Canada's Regional User Conference in Victoria. This recognition is well deserved and is a long time coming. Although we’ve helped build lots of applications, CRD's popular Natural Areas Atlas is special to me. Unofficially launched in April 2001... Read More...

Summer Ends, Conference Season Begins
Thursday, August 30, 2007 3:32 PM

I was reviewing the list of upcoming conferences with the team yesterday, and I can’t believe how many events are happening in September/October. Even with four digital projectors, numerous exhibit configurations, and half a dozen staff who attend these events, there is so much happening simultaneously we simply can’t attend everything. At one point, Steve Maddison... Read More...

Photos from the IMF/Geocortex User Conference
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 5:26 PM

There’s nothing like a newsletter (that references this blog post) being mailed out to eight hundred people to remind me to get some conference photos uploaded—not to mention getting our actual production blog exposed to the world. Here they are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geocortexblog/sets/72157601005380976/detail/ Ah, the memories. If you’re willing to share... Read More...
