ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)

University wide cloud-based platform to explore, create and publish spatial data and applications for teaching and research.

Since AGOL is software as a service (SaaS) the platform can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. It's world-class infrastructure allows your maps to scale, so thousands of people can concurrently interact with them. Esri manages the software updates and maintenance.

What can you do with AGOL?
1) Make maps: Build interactive maps that explain your data and encourage users to explore. Map your own data and gain perspective by adding the authoratative location-based data included in AGOL. Use smart mapping to guide your data exploration and visualisation.2) Share maps and apps: Share your maps with specific groups or everyone. Create web apps with your maps for a focused, interactive experience. Then integrate the apps your built into your digital presence including your website, social media posts, and blog articles.3) Collaborate: Work effectively across your organisation to build and use maps. Users receive secure, straightforward access to the data, maps, and apps they need to do their work. 4)Analyse data: Understand your data in the context of location by using intutitive analysis tools. Reveal relationships, identify primate locations, use optimal routes, and analyse patters to make predictions. Add valuable context to your data by combining with datasets provided by Esri's Living Atlas.5) Work with your data: Bring your data into a powerful system that geoenables, hosts, and scales. Update and add to your data without disrupting the maps and apps that use the data. Control who adds to, and modifies your data.
