When will the service centers be going to the newer version of ArcView 3.x and/or ArcGIS?
The service centers will upgrade to ArcView 3.3 as part of the Microsoft XP upgrade scheduled to begin early this year. The NRCS offices will also receive a Customer Service Toolkit 4.0 upgrade at the same time. As far as upgrading to ArcGIS, RD will most likely start out using ArcGIS as they install GIS software on their workstations. FSA will migrate to the newer version of the software in the next 12 to 18 months. NRCS will likely migrate to ArcGIS during fiscal year 2004, but for the time being NRCS will continue to run ArcView 3.x in the field offices, to be compatible with the Customer Service Toolkit. If there is an immediate need to use ArcGIS in some of the NRCS Field Offices, they can install both ArcView 3.x (for Toolkit) and ArcGIS (for other GIS applications) on the same workstation.
