Use Case: Government organization – Government
Challenge
This government organization manages a site with critical infrastructure and strict security standards. The ArcGIS Enterprise environment is essential for operational decision-making and daily processes. The organization also aimed to manage infrastructure, software, and GIS configurations consistently through Git and DevOps pipelines, but this was not natively possible within ArcGIS. As a result, before implementing GaiaBuilder, they encountered several structural challenges:
- Unpredictable and error-prone manual deployments
- No reliable rollback mechanism in case of disruptions
- Internal scripts that did not meet security guidelines
- No central version control or complete audit trail
- Credential management that did not comply with ISO 27001 requirements
Approach with GaiaBuilder
The organization implemented GaiaBuilder as a secure DevOps automation layer for ArcGIS Enterprise. This brought immediate improvements:
Deployments in about two minutes instead of hours or days
Instant rollback to the last stable release when needed
Git-based traceability of every change, always accessible
Elimination of internal scripts through standardized pipelines and a secure workflow aligned with Esri’s roadmap
“GaiaBuilder enables us to implement ArcGIS Enterprise updates with confidence. What used to take a full day now only takes minutes, and if something goes wrong, we can instantly roll back.”
Result
Safer, more predictable, and ready for further digitalization
Stronger security position
Thanks to secure credential handling and strict controls
Predictable deployments
Reduced risks and more stable releases
Faster innovation
Shorter development cycles without disruptions
Audit-ready organization
Full traceability as a foundation for further digitalization and stricter security requirements
