Designed around daily work

GIS Modernization and Operational Workflows

Modernize legacy GIS workflows with ArcGIS Pro, Attribute Rules, and feature service editing through ArcGIS Enterprise.

Spatial Aptitude reviews existing workflows and implements the changes needed to move legacy editing into ArcGIS Pro. Work can focus on a specific migration or connect office and field editing, validation, data management, and administration.

These services support municipal and utility GIS teams, including public works, planning, and engineering departments, whether or not a Utility Network migration is planned. Modernization can focus on the feature data and workflows a department already manages, not just water systems or network datasets.

ArcGIS Desktop to ArcGIS Pro

Review existing ArcGIS Desktop workflows and migrate the maps, editing practices, and supporting processes your team uses into ArcGIS Pro.

Attribute Assistant to Attribute Rules

Review existing Attribute Assistant methods and implement appropriate Attribute Rules, with testing and documentation for the revised editing workflows. Implement new rules where your team needs editing automation or data-quality checks.

Traditional to branch versioning

Assess the current versioning approach and transition suitable datasets and editing workflows from traditional to branch versioning, including version review and management.

Feature service editing and administration

Configure feature services for ArcGIS Pro editing through ArcGIS Enterprise, with practical workflows for editing, review, data management, and administration.

Field editing, validation, and office–field workflows

Configure field editing and validation workflows, connecting field updates with office editing, review, and the maintenance of authoritative GIS data.

We test the updated workflows with your team and provide documentation and training for office editors, field staff, and administrators.

Shared data, distinct working roles.

Connect office editing, review and field observations through agreed data practices.

Office editing

Maintain features and attributes using agreed editing practices.

Review & governance

Check updates and resolve exceptions with the designated data owner.

Field use

Use GIS information and contribute observations within the agreed workflow.

Authoritative GIS data

Shared editing rules, quality expectations and ownership connect the roles.

Defined-scope engagement

A focused ArcGIS Pro migration, Attribute Rules implementation, transition to branch-versioned editing, or setup of connected field editing and validation workflows. Deliverables are agreed before work begins.

Custom engagement

Combine workflow review, migration, automation, feature service editing, and connected office and field workflows around your organization’s needs. We can deliver the work directly or guide your team through implementation.

Clear ownership and boundaries

The client identifies data owners and approves operating practices. Spatial Aptitude’s configuration, implementation, documentation and training responsibilities are stated in the work plan. Integrations and application changes are assessed and scoped separately where needed.
