Migration Strategy for ArcGIS: Assessing Readiness and Choosing the Best Approach
When evaluating your organization’s readiness for a successful migration to ArcGIS, determining the most effective migration strategy is essential. The simplest option is a “lift and shift” approach, which involves moving your existing applications and data to the cloud without making any changes to the platform. This strategy typically requires the least effort, time, and cost. However, you may also consider a re-factor or re-architect approach, where geospatial business applications are redesigned and developed to leverage cloud-native features. This option is often driven by a compelling business need to enhance functionality, scalability, or performance—capabilities that may be challenging to achieve in the application’s current environment. At GCS, we carefully evaluate each standard migration strategy against your specific business and IT objectives, allowing us to weigh the pros and cons effectively and recommend the optimal path forward.
