Life and Work Is Getting Easier, and Better
Each consecutive module builds upon the previous one, beginning with an orientation of the Google Earth Pro (now available for free!), followed by a session on how to couple it with ESRI's ArcMap to enhance your GIS capabilities. The webinar series continues with sessions providing technical insights related to meaningful visualization technologies and cloud communication tools (Trimble's SketchUp and Google's new Fusion Tables) - both free tools. It then progresses with Google Apps for optimizing your ArcGIS projects. The series concludes with demonstrations of additional free Google offerings (360° Street View, Hangouts, My Maps...) and how they can possibly expedite your client communication and GIS project management.
Part 5: Google Apps for Engineering and Project Management
Google Apps (Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sites...) are more and more being used by both individuals and businesses to expedite their workflow and communication. They also can be used to expedite and organize your GIS work. In this module, you will receive a basic overview, orientation, and some tips on Google Apps integration to see if they are something that could benefit your work. Learn about how to scale, share, and expedite your work and project management via Google cloud tools.
