Thinking about migrating from ArcGIS Online to On-prem ArcGIS Enterprise? Read on!

Migrating from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise can be a complex process, but it is often necessary for organizations that need more control and customization over their GIS data and systems. ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based service that provides users with a variety of GIS tools and features, while ArcGIS Enterprise is a self-hosted platform that gives users more control over their data and systems.

The first step in migrating from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise is to assess your current ArcGIS Online environment. This includes identifying which maps, apps, and data are currently being used, as well as any customizations or configurations that have been made. You should also evaluate the hardware and infrastructure requirements for ArcGIS Enterprise, including server hardware, network infrastructure, and software dependencies.

Once you have a good understanding of your current ArcGIS Online environment and the requirements for ArcGIS Enterprise, you can start planning the migration. This may involve creating a detailed project plan, identifying a migration team, and identifying any potential roadblocks or challenges that may arise during the process.

Next, you will need to move your data from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise. This can be done using a variety of methods, including manual data exports, automated data migrations, and third-party tools. It is important to ensure that your data is properly formatted and cleaned before migrating, as well as to test the data migration process to ensure that all data is properly migrated.

After the data migration is complete, you will need to set up and configure ArcGIS Enterprise. This includes installing and configuring the ArcGIS Enterprise software, setting up servers and services, and configuring security and user access. You will also need to test the new ArcGIS Enterprise environment to ensure that it is working properly and that all data and maps are accessible.

Finally, you will need to provide training and support to users to help them transition to the new ArcGIS Enterprise environment. This may include creating user guides, providing training sessions, and providing ongoing support to users as they adjust to the new system.

Migrating from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise can be a complex and time-consuming process, but it is often necessary for organizations that need more control and customization over their GIS data and systems.
