Equip Your GIS Teams to Administer ArcGIS Enterprise with Confidence
ArcGIS Enterprise: Administration Workflows is Esri's advanced training on running a production ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, the on-premises mapping and spatial-analytics platform built on the Enterprise portal, a hosting server, federated ArcGIS Server sites, and a data store. What is ArcGIS Enterprise administration? It is the practice of installing, configuring, securing, monitoring, and maintaining that GIS infrastructure so maps, layers, and analysis services stay available and performant for the whole organization. As geospatial data becomes central to operations, teams that can administer ArcGIS Enterprise keep the platform reliable, secure, and ready to scale.
As organizations move GIS workloads onto self-hosted ArcGIS Enterprise to control data, security, and access, this program helps your teams run day-to-day administration workflows across a real deployment. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Fully customized to your goals, the program turns ArcGIS Enterprise administration skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your GIS, IT, and operations teams.
By the end of the program, your team can configure security and user access, manage portal content and federated server sites, monitor system health, and recover the deployment when issues arise. The result is a stable, secure ArcGIS Enterprise platform with less downtime, controlled access to sensitive geospatial data, and confident in-house administration that no longer depends on outside consultants.

Participants should be familiar with core GIS concepts and have used ArcGIS Pro or the ArcGIS Enterprise portal as a publisher or user. Comfort with basic Windows or Linux server administration, networking fundamentals, and command-line tasks is helpful. No prior ArcGIS Enterprise administration experience is required, though access to a working ArcGIS Enterprise deployment to practice on accelerates learning.
