An ESRI Live Training Seminar Will Demonstrate How to Design High-Performance Maps for the Web Using ArcGIS

Redlands, California—March 24, 2009—To learn how to use the tools in ESRI's ArcGIS software to quickly make and publish modern Web maps, tune in online to Authoring and Deploying Fast Web Maps on Thursday, April 2, 2009, at www.esri.com/lts. The live training seminar will air at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. (Pacific daylight time).

ArcGIS 9.3.1, scheduled for release in May, 2009, will add more tools for improving geographic information sharing and the performance of dynamic map publishing. This live training seminar will outline the best practices to follow and the new ArcGIS Desktop tools to use to organize data and design maps that will be optimal for publishing on the Web via ArcGIS Server.

The presenter will introduce the new tools in the ArcGIS Desktop ArcMap application that will optimize map performance. These tools will analyze maps, offer recommendations for tuning, and let users preview the maps and estimate draw time. These tools can also be used to directly publish maps from ArcMap to ArcGIS Server.

Attendees also will learn how to

• Choose the best publishing option for local data.
  
• Find available online ESRI resources for creating Web maps.
  
• Configure the ESRI sample viewers and industry templates.
  

This live training seminar is designed for ArcGIS Server users who want to quickly prepare a Web application and improve their maps' performance online. The seminar also will be of interest to ArcIMS and ArcGIS Desktop users who want to learn how ArcGIS Server is used to prepare high-quality Web maps.
