gis-l: Software Migration Plan - Update and Changes

[Clay, Linc]

GIS & ArcIMS Users,

Several months ago, we posted our migration plans for ArcGIS, ArcSDE, =
and
ArcIMS.  As a result of our testing and what we learned at the ESRI user
conference, we are changing our plans as outlined below.

* ArcGIS 9.1 - released this morning as an optional upgrade (with =
issues).
ArcGIS 8.3, 9.0, and 9.1 are currently supported.

* ArcSDE 9.1 - we are not planning to migrate at this time as there is =
no
benefit, significant cost, and significant risk.  We may stand up an =
instance
of 9.1 to support versioned editing.  At present, we are supporting 8.3.

* ArcIMS 9.1 - we are still evaluating ArcIMS 9.1, but are not planning =
to
migrate to 9.0 as had been planned for August.  We may need to migrate =
to 9.1
late in the calendar year, but will announce a more precise plan when we =
have
finished the evaluation.  At present, we are supporting 4.0.1.

Thanks,

-Linc
