2025 WA GIS Conference

The combination of imagery, big data, analytics, and the ever-expanding capabilities of the Enterprise GIS stack makes migrating from on-premise to the cloud an increasingly attractive option. But where do you begin?

A well-structured migration plan—one that answers the who, what, when, where, why, and how—can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth transition and maximizing the benefits for your organization.

In this 20–25 minute session, we’ll address the top questions and concerns organizations face when considering a move to the cloud. You'll gain insights into:
• Who on your team should be involved in the migration process
• What GIS services, imagery, and databases need to be migrated
• When to expect key milestones and cost considerations
• Where to explore cloud provider options
• Why migrating to the cloud enhances performance, scalability, and collaboration
• How to kick-start your cloud journey with proven migration best practices

Join us to learn how to plan, execute, and demonstrate the value of modernizing your GIS in the cloud.
