ESRI® ArcGIS® is an integrated collection of software products for building a complete geographic information system (GIS) that is right for your organization. The ArcGIS framework enables you to deploy GIS functionality and business logic wherever it is needed—in desktops, servers, custom appli-cations, Web services, or mobile devices. Coupled with the geodatabase, this architecture gives you the tools to assemble intelligent GIS applications.

Interoperable

The ArcGIS family of products is built on a foundation of indus-try standards including .NET, Java™, and COM for customization; commercial DBMS for data storage; and XML, SOAP, TCP/IP, and HTTP for networked environments.

Exceptional Functionality

Strong editing, analysis, and cartography, along with cutting-edge data models and management, continue to distinguish the ArcGIS software family as the leading GIS software.

Scalable

The modular nature of ArcGIS means that it is equally suited for a single desktop user or an organization that requires a collabora-tive environment for multiuser editing and updating.

ArcReader

ArcReader is a free, easy-to-use product that allows anyone to view, explore, and print published map fi les (PMFs). ArcReader was designed for viewing and sharing 2D maps and 3D globes that access a wide variety of dynamic geographic data. Anyone with ArcReader can access high-quality maps authored by a higher-level ArcGIS Desktop product.

ArcView

ArcView includes all the functionality of ArcReader and adds geographic data visualiza-tion, query, analysis, and integration capabilities; the ability to create and edit geographic data; and high-performance printing tools.

ArcEditor

ArcEditor includes all the functionality of ArcView and adds the power to create and edit data in a geodatabase. Additional functionality includes support for multiuser editing, ver-sioning, feature-linked annotation, advanced topological editing, and raster-to-vector data conversion capabilities.

ArcInfo

ArcInfo is the complete GIS data creation, update, query, mapping, and analysis system. Within the ArcGIS software family, ArcInfo is the top of the line. It includes all the functionality of ArcEditor and adds advanced geoprocessing and cartographic text placement and labeling capa-bilities. ArcInfo is the de facto standard for GIS.

Desktop GISDesktop GIS is the primary platform for GIS professionals to compile, author, and use geographic information and knowl-edge. Desktop GIS products include ArcReader™, ArcView®, ArcEditor™, ArcInfo®, and ArcGIS extensions. Although licensed separately, these products share the same core applications, user interface, and development environment. Each product provides additional GIS functionality, which is enabled as you move from ArcReader to ArcView to ArcEditor to ArcInfo. This dramatically increases usability and interoperability while retaining fl exible end-user deployments.

ArcGIS Extensions

ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo are engineered with a common architecture and shared extension model. A wide-ranging suite of optional extensions dramatically expands the functional capabilities of these products with specialized GIS tools. One of the key benefi ts of this shared extension model is the ability to operate the same ArcGIS extensions across the line of desktop products, signifi cantly reducing your acquisition, training, and operating costs.

ESRI provides developer products that allow you to build custom desktop or server GIS applications or embed GIS functionality in existing applications.

ESRI Developer Network

ESRI Developer Network (EDN SM) is an annual subscription-based program designed to provide developers with comprehensive tools that increase productivity and reduce the cost of GIS development.

EDN provides a comprehensive library of developer software, a documen-tation library, and a collaborative online Web site that offers an easy way to share information. The EDN software library contains ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS, ArcSDE, and ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit in addition to a block of ArcWeb Services. Having access to ESRI development products allows developers to choose the best tools for each application they build, which can help them fulfi ll their users’ current and future needs.

Mobile GISArcGIS technology can be deployed on a range of mobile systems from light-weight devices to PDAs, laptops, and Tablet PCs. Taking GIS to the fi eld typically relies heavily on application customization to simplify mobile work tasks as well as wireless access to data feeds from central GIS Web servers such as sites pro-viding ArcIMS and ArcGIS Server map and data services.

ArcPad

ArcPad® is software for mobile GIS and fi eld-mapping applications. ArcPad pro-vides mapping, GIS, and GPS integration to fi eld users via handheld and pocket PC devices. Data collection with ArcPad is fast and easy and improves fi eld-based data validation and availability.

Mobile ArcGIS

All ArcGIS Desktop products—ArcReader, ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo—and custom applications can be used on high-end mobile systems such as laptops and Tablet PCs. These solutions are for users who require rich mapping, data compilation, query, and analysis in the fi eld.

GIS Web ServicesGIS Web services offer a cost-effective way to access up-to-date GIS content and capabilities on demand.

ArcWeb Services

With ArcWeb Services, data storage, maintenance, and updates are handled by ESRI, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain data yourself. You can access data and GIS capabilities directly using ArcGIS Desktop, or you can use ArcWeb Services to build unique Web-based applications. An ArcWeb Services subscription provides instant and reliable access to terabytes of data including street maps, live weather and traffi c information, extensive demographic data, topographic maps, and high-resolution imagery from an extensive list of world-class data providers.

Server GIS

ArcIMS

ArcIMS® is the solution for delivering dynamic maps and GIS data and services via the Web. It provides a highly scalable frame-work for GIS Web publishing that meets the needs of corporate intranets and demands of worldwide Internet access. ArcIMS services can be used by a wide range of clients including custom Web applications, ArcGIS Desktop, and mobile and wireless devices.

ArcSDE

ArcSDE® is the solution for managing and providing access to large multiuser geographic databases stored in industry-standard DBMSs. It provides a suite of services that enhances data man-agement and performance, extends the range of data types that can be stored in a DBMS, enables schema portability between DBMSs, and offers confi guration fl exibility. ArcSDE serves spatial data to ArcGIS Desktop (ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo), Internet clients through ArcIMS, and applications developed with ArcGIS Engine and ArcGIS Server. ArcSDE allows you to manage geographic information in any of four commercial databases—IBM® DB2® Universal Database, IBM Informix®, Oracle®, and Microsoft® SQL Server.

ArcGIS Server

ArcGIS Server is a comprehensive platform for delivering enter-prise GIS applications that support multiple users from a server-based computing environment. Developers can use ArcGIS Server to build focused Web applications, Web services, and other enterprise applications. Developers can also use ArcGIS Server to build desktop applications that interact with the server in client/server mode. ArcGIS Server is created from ArcObjects, ESRI’s platform-independent software components and the stan-dard GIS framework on which the ArcGIS product family is built.

The ESRI server GIS software products allow GIS and data ser-vices to be hosted in a server-based environment. The centraliza-tion of data management and application support, combined with adherence to information technology standards, makes the server GIS software products the key to broad use of geospatial technology within enterprise information systems.

Publish maps and data over the Internet using ArcIMS.

ArcSDE provides advanced spatial data services for managing geographic information.

Organizations can make focused Web applications avail-able with ArcGIS Server.
