When compared to traditional campus and facility management through CAD layers and multiple spreadsheets, ArcGIS Indoors offers a much more streamlined approach. Managing indoor assets through ArcGIS Indoors allows for improved facility maintenance, building operations, and indoor analysis across an entire campus thanks to ESRI’s ArcGIS Indoors Information Model (AIIM).
The Data Loading Tools are a free solution provided by Esri designed to help simplify and streamline the ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) process from a source dataset to a target dataset. The tools are packaged as a python add-in for ArcGIS Pro and help simplify migration by harnessing Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Within the spreadsheets migration mapping from the source schema to target schema can be set up for feature classes, fields, and even coded value domains. This toolbox is most used to assist with migrating data into the robust Utility Network schema, but it can be used for all ETL tasks!

Keeping up a blog to let people know what's going on sounds easy to do but I am learning that it can be difficult to stay consistent. Things are going well at Cloudpoint with projects continuing to surface. Just completed a sign inventory for Gold Township in Bureau County and have had several calls from other agencies requesting the same. Having an engineering background in transportation has been a great advantage in this area. Sign inventories, evaluation of software, Christmas cards going out, and marketing trips have been keeping me busy lately.
Some people have asked what it is that I actually do (Including my father-in-law in his own tactful way). The best way to describe it is GIS (Geographic Information Systems). For public works, transportation, and utilities, colleges, parks, etc. Anyone that has numerous facilities that they need to track and manage within a geographic boundary. For example right now I am working with a public utility on enhancing their map books and implementing better practices for their GIS system. I am also in the process of evaluating two kinds of software, ESRI Arc Editor, and Que Coherent LP360. It might sound link technical mumbo-jumbo but I think its a lot of fun.
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!
