ArcGIS Changes

When the new ArcGIS Agreement is agreed in August 2023, it will no longer cover site-wide deployment of ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap). This product is being retired and ArcGIS Pro will be the main desktop GIS software offered by Esri through the Agreement. Whilst many users have already transitioned over to using ArcGIS Pro, it is very important that those remaining now start to plan their migration away from ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap).

ArcGIS Pro offers many benefits including improved performance and integrated 3D visualisations.ÌýIt also has a clear development plan with enhanced features being added every 6 months.

The list below should give a great overview of what users can do with ArcGIS Pro, moving from the basics of loading and visualising data, through to editing 3D features. This would also work as a conversion course for users familiar with ArcMap. In total, this list is around 35 hours of learning.
