Before his colleagues arrive at the office, City of Arlington, Texas GIS Developer Jeffrey Thompson is already online—warming up for the day by helping others in Esri Community. In this feature, Jeffrey shares how his daily rituals in Esri Community have helped him sidestep technical roadblocks, make valuable connections with Esri staff, and pioneer a REST endpoint integration that feeds Virtual Map, a central data repository for the city's GIS database that he estimates saves Arlington citizens millions of dollars a year.
In
this Member Spotlight from our monthly series, Jeffrey demonstrates what it means to play a role in finding solutions, sharing ideas, and collaborating to solve problems with GIS.
